More about this bill
Your state or city could not stop your home from getting gas, power, or other energy just because of the fuel type. States and towns could not ban or limit a hookup, repair, or expansion of energy service based on what kind of energy it is. That covers laws, building codes, and other rules. It also covers rules that only limit a fuel in a roundabout way. The rule covers energy that is sold across state lines. Places could not enforce limits like this that they already have. The bill does not change federal rules. It sets no start date, so it would apply once it becomes law.
Congressional Summary
Energy Choice Act This bill prohibits a state or local government from banning or limiting the connection, reconnection, modification, installation, transportation, distribution, expansion, or access to an energy service based on the type or source of energy (e.g., natural gas) that is sold.
