Senator Rick Scott introduces S. 5654: Protecting Florida's Offshore Military Readiness Act

We have received text from S. 5654: Protecting Florida's Offshore Military Readiness Act. This bill was received on 2026-09-30, and currently has 1 cosponsor.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would create a ban on new oil and gas development in a specific offshore area called the Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range , which is used for military testing and training.

What it would do

• It would require the government to stop offering this area for oil and gas leasing, pre-leasing, production, and related development activities as soon as the bill becomes law.
• It would not cancel leases that are already valid when the bill takes effect. Existing leases would remain in place.
• The ban would end if the Secretary of War certifies to Congress that the area is no longer of critical use.

Practical effect

In plain terms, the bill would keep new oil and gas activity out of this military training area unless the federal government later determines the area is no longer critically needed for military purposes. It is focused on one specific offshore region rather than changing oil and gas policy nationwide.
