IL HR0719

Declares U.S. oil and natural gas energy independence an urgent national priority in response to high motor fuel prices approaching 2008 record levels.

Calls upon President Joe Biden and the federal government to reverse current anti-production policies and maximize immediate U.S. oil and gas production from federal lands and waters, including the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains, Gulf of Mexico, coastal California, and Alaska.

Asserts that U.S. home oil and gas production is tied to federal policies and that removing barriers to energy infrastructure construction for pumping, delivery, and refining is necessary for energy independence.

Requires copies of the resolution be delivered to President Biden, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, and all members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation.
