S. 1460: A New Energy and Resources Bill for

the 115th Congress



July 10, 2017
On June 28, Senators Murkowski and Cantwell (Chair and Ranking Member, respectively, of the Energy
and Natural Resources Committee) introduced S. 1460, the Energy and Natural Resources Act of 2017.
The next day, the bill was read a second time and placed on the Senate calendar. S. 1460 has many
similarities, but also significant differences, with the Senate-passed version of S. 2012, the comprehensive
energy and natural resources bill in the 114th Congress (see CRS Report R44291, Energy Legislation:
Comparison of Selected Provisions in S. 2012 as Passed by the House and Senate, by Brent D.
Yacobucci). Although both the House and Senate each passed a version of S. 2012, the Conference
Committee on the bill was unable to reach an agreement on reconciled language.
The new bill has two divisions, Division A-Energy, and Division B-Natural Resources.


Related and Incorporated Bills
S. 1460 contains a majority of the provisions from the Senate version of S. 2012 (S. 2012 ES), and also
includes language from a broad range of more targeted bills in the 1 15th Congress. These include:
    *  S. 239, the Energy Savings Through Public-Private Partnerships Act of 2017;
    *  S. 245, the Indian Tribal Energy Development and Self-Determination Act Amendments
       of 2017
    *  S. 385, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act;
    *  S. 698, the National Landslide Preparedness Act;
    *  S. 714, the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project Phase III Act of 2017;
    *  S. 733, the Sportsmen's Act;
    *  S. 857, the African American Civil Rights Network Act; and
    *  S. 1225, the Vehicle Innovation Act of 2017.


Energy

Division A is divided into four titles:
    *  Title I-Efficiency;
    *  Title II-Infrastructure;
