The federal government could no longer approve new offshore oil, gas, or mineral projects in four ocean areas. The ban would be permanent and would override other laws that conflict with it.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
COAST Anti-Drilling Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
Latest action on H.R. 2881: Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects energy and mining companies that may want new projects in the covered waters. It also affects coastal communities and businesses near those areas. The Interior Department would have to reject new leases and approvals that the bill bans.
Why this matters: Future offshore projects could bring spills and other harm to coastal waters. This bill would prevent new projects in the four covered areas. That could help protect ocean life, fishing, tourism, and recreation. It could also limit future domestic energy and mineral supplies, jobs, and income. The bill does not state how much it would change energy prices or local economies.
