SESSION OF 2023
SUPPLEMENTAL NOTE ON SENATE CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION NO. 1603
As Recommended by Senate Committee of the
Whole
Brief*
SCR 1603 states the Kansas Legislature urges
President Biden to:
Reject unscientific environmental mandates that restrict
domestic energy production and raise costs for American
families;
Consider current geopolitical tensions and support
policies that ensure America’s long-term energy affordability,
security, leadership, and progress, including actions to
increase investment in domestic refineries and natural gas
production;
Expand domestic energy production and ensure energy
reliability and affordability for consumers by cutting through
the red tape purposefully hampering the building of energy
infrastructure, especially pipelines;
Reevaluate energy policies that have curtailed domestic
production of oil and natural gas; and
Utilize our nation’s abundant natural resources and
relationships with energy-producing allies as leverage against
a Russian regime that is intent on disrupting world peace and
threatening global stability.
