H.R. 7019 · 116th Congress
Strategic Petroleum Reserve Reform Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Strategic Petroleum Reserve Reform Act
This bill revises requirements for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to address underutilized storage facilities.
Specifically, the bill authorizes the Department of Energy (DOE)to lease such storage facilities to private entities. Currently, DOE may only lease these storage facilities to foreign governments. DOE must ensure that leasing of facilities to foreign governments will not impair national security.
In addition, DOE must conduct a pilot program to lease storage capacity for up to 200 million barrels of petroleum products.
