This bill requires the Department of Energy to study whether the United States should create a national backup supply of propane. This reserve would be separate from the country's current emergency oil stockpile and would focus on keeping propane available during shortages.
The study will look at why propane supplies get interrupted and how those disruptions affect everyday people, farmers, and the military. It will also identify the best places to store the fuel and how much would be needed to keep prices stable during a crisis.
If the bill passes, officials will have 180 days to finish the study and another 180 days to come up with a plan. They are encouraged to work with people in the propane industry to make sure the plan works for the real world and doesn't accidentally cause other market problems.
