This bill proposes to amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to establish a permanent prohibition on oil and gas exploration, development, and production activities. The legislation specifically targets the outer Continental Shelf off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. Under this bill, the Secretary would be prevented from issuing any new leases or authorizations for such activities in the designated planning areas. These areas are explicitly defined as the Washington/Oregon, Northern California, Central California, and Southern California Planning Areas, referencing their depiction in the 2024-2029 National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Proposed Final Program.
