## Summary

**Would push Mexico to stop favoring state-owned energy firms and use USMCA tools to protect U.S. energy interests.** This bill would require the U.S. Trade Representative to either request a USMCA dispute settlement panel under article 31.6 or, during the first joint review, force Mexico to provide non‑discriminatory access for U.S. energy companies consistent with USMCA chapters 2, 14, and 22. - U.S. energy companies and exporters: Would aim to restore fair market and investment access in Mexico that the bill says has been harmed by actions favoring Mexico's state firms. - Targets specific Mexican firms: The bill focuses on actions that favor Comision Federal de Electricidad and Pemex, as identified in prior USMCA consultations. - U.S. Trade Representative and Congress: The USTR would have to act under the bill and then report to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Committee on Finance within 90 days after enactment.
