President Trump Signs Hoeven-Led Legislation to Block Biden Natural Gas Tax
Senator at White House for Signing Ceremony
WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven (R-N.D.) issued the following statement after President Donald Trump signed into law the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval he led in the Senate to block implementation of President Biden’s Natural Gas Tax. Hoeven was at the White House as the bill was signed into law.
Hoeven’s CRA blocks implementation of a Natural Gas Tax passed in 2022 as part of the Democrats’ reckless tax-and-spend bill. Last month, Hoeven secured Senate approval of the resolution by a vote of 52 to 47, and Congressman August Pfluger (R-Texas) led and secured approval of the companion legislation in the House.
“The Biden administration handcuffed our energy industry with unnecessary regulations and burdensome taxes, including a new tax on natural gas. Americans rely on natural gas as an affordable and reliable energy source for everything from heating and cooking to manufacturing. Our CRA blocks this natural gas tax, and is an important step as we work to roll back the Biden administration’s harmful Green New Deal policies,” said Senator Hoeven. “We appreciate President Trump signing our CRA into law as part of our broader effort to take the handcuffs off our producers to unleash more American energy, which will help reduce inflation and make our nation truly energy dominant.”
“I was honored to witness President Trump sign our monumental legislation into law to deliver on the mandate to remove burdensome regulations in the energy industry and unleash American energy. Our CRA repeals the tax President Biden imposed on every single consumer in this country and protects the hardworking men and women in the Permian Basin who have delivered affordable, reliable energy every day despite being assaulted by the Biden administration for four years. We owed it to our constituents who elected us to fight for them and get this legislation across the finish line. This is only the beginning of our mission to restore American energy dominance, and I thank President Trump for his action on this,” said Rep. Pfluger.
