The purpose of this legislation, known as the Local Input Act, is to ensure that the Secretary of the Interior actively engages with the public and various government officials before deciding to lease certain parcels of land for oil or gas exploration. The main objective is to promote transparency and gather input from those who may be affected by such decisions. Key provisions of the Act require that before any land is offered for oil or gas leasing, there must be meaningful involvement from the public, as well as from State, Tribal, and local government officials.
