This bill would change how the government decides on energy efficiency standards for federal buildings. It would require the Secretary of Energy to consider things like cost and electric grid reliability. They would also need to consider whether an update would force a building to switch energy types. Importantly, requiring a move away from fossil fuels would count as a negative factor against updating the standards.

This bill would make the Department of Energy responsible for making sure the U.S. has a steady supply of important energy resources, like certain minerals.

This bill would make major app stores verify user ages and get parent permission before kids under 18 can download apps or make purchases.
