Bolstering the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve Act

# Bolstering the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve Act Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would strengthen the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve, a federal stockpile of heating oil maintained for emergency use in the Northeast region. If passed, the legislation aims to bolster the size and management of this reserve to help ensure adequate heating fuel supplies during winter months and supply disruptions. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects residents in northeastern states who depend on heating oil to warm their homes during winter. It also impacts heating oil suppliers, distributors, and potentially the federal government's budget, since maintaining a larger reserve would require additional funding and storage capacity. **Current Status** As of now, HR 6933 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.

The bill was introduced by Representative Chris Pappas (D-NH), a Democrat representing New Hampshire's 1st congressional district. No further action has occurred at this time.
