Yesterday, U.S. Senators Curtis and Lee, along with Representative Kennedy, introduced the Natural Asset Company Prohibition Act, legislation aiming to protect Utah’s public lands from takeover by Wall Street activists and foreign investors. The bill would prohibit NACs and similar entities from entering into agreements that affect land, water, or natural resources within Utah’s borders.

Senators Curtis, Chair of the Foreign Relations Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, and Rosen introduced the No Hezbollah in Our Hemisphere Act, bipartisan legislation to direct the U.S. Department of State and other federal agencies to assess and counter Hezbollah’s influence in Latin America. The bill requires an official determination of whether any Latin American country meets the legal definition of a terrorist sanctuary and imposes restrictions on officials who support Hezbollah.

Senators Curtis and Hickenlooper today introduced the Co-Location Energy Act, bipartisan legislation that takes a forward-thinking approach to unlock renewable energy potential. By allowing wind and solar projects to be co-located on existing federal energy leases, the Co-Location Energy Act provides a streamlined framework for developers to evaluate and build projects on already-disturbed federal lands with the consent of the current leaseholder.
