The House report accompanying H.R. 1941 describes the proposed amendment, including its purpose and the legislative background, reviews the hearing and committee findings, and summarizes potential economic impacts and effects on the budget. The amendment repeals the ban on the use of natural gas and petroleum to generate power at new installations and allows consumers to choose fuels according to their own criteria. The report projects that the reduction in regulatory costs and the opportunity for consumers to choose least cost options will have a positive impact. A section-by section analysis makes up most of the report, with additional views urging repeal of the Fuel Use Act signed by 13 members of the committee.
