Introduced
Summary
Protects the U.S.-Canada Transit Pipelines Agreement. This bill would bar the President or any designee from taking actions that violate the 1977 agreement on transit pipelines, the treaty that covers Line 5. It says that prohibition applies notwithstanding any other provision of law so the treaty would take precedence over conflicting federal statutes. The text designates the short title "Line 5 Act" and points to the treaty citation.
