Bill overview
This bill, the New England Coastal Protection Act of 2024, aims to protect the coastline of New England by permanently prohibiting oil and gas leasing on the outer Continental Shelf off the coasts of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. It does this by amending the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, specifically preventing the Secretary from issuing leases for exploration, development, or production activities in these designated areas. The goal is to safeguard the region's natural resources and coastal ecosystems from potential oil and gas development.
