Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 aims to bar liability claims against energy businesses for climate change damages.
The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 seeks to prohibit legal actions against entities involved in energy production and sale for damages related to climate change. It defines "energy penalty law" as any state law imposing liability on energy businesses for climate change costs. The act mandates dismissal of pending climate-related lawsuits and voids such state laws. It also asserts that greenhouse gas regulation is exclusively a federal matter, preempting state laws and prohibiting private claims under state law for climate change harms.
