Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HR 1068 adds several sponsors and modifies the definition of "critical energy resource." It specifies that part of the definition will include the evaluation of how energy security is impacted by dependence on imported resources, and it emphasizes the need to facilitate the development of strategies to strengthen supply chains for these resources. These changes refine the focus of the bill on both domestic supply chain resilience and energy security considerations.
