Plain-English Summary

The bill would set strict deadlines for federal agencies to approve or deny energy projects that have already received permits, and would make it harder for the government to stop projects that are fully permitted. It would also allow companies and project developers to go to court faster if they believe federal agencies are unfairly delaying their decisions or blocking their work.
