A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared with respect to energy.

S.J.Res. 71 is a binding joint resolution that would end the national emergency declaration concerning energy matters. As a joint resolution, this measure would have the force of law if passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President, without requiring a separate presidential signature for the termination itself. The resolution has advanced through the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and is now eligible for a floor vote in the Senate. If enacted, this resolution would formally rescind the emergency declaration related to energy, potentially affecting any emergency powers or expedited procedures that were authorized under that declaration. Citizens should note that this bill addresses the legal status of an emergency declaration rather than creating new energy policy, and its practical effects would depend on what specific authorities or programs were established under the original emergency declaration.
