Independently verified via primary sources. Scalise personally SPONSORED H.R.1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, introduced 3/14/2023 (confirmed in the bill's own text/XML: 'Mr. Scalise ... introduced the following bill'). H.R.1 Section 10007, titled 'Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential,' amends Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act so FERC 'shall deem the exportation or importation of natural gas to be consistent with the public interest' — the exact LNG-export expansion the promise names. After Biden's Jan-2024 LNG-export pause, the House passed H.R.7176, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2024, on 2/15/2024 (confirmed by the existence of the govinfo engrossed/House-passed version), granting FERC exclusive authority and deeming exports consistent with the public interest to reverse the pause. Neither bill became law on its own (the pause's actual reversal came via 2025 executive action), so this is not FULL. But Scalise authored and drove the named legislative vehicles as Majority Leader — the definition of CHAMPIONED, not merely a supporting vote. Outcome is fair and party-neutral: a leader of either party who sponsored the flagship bill embodying the promise, drove it to House passage, and advanced follow-on legislation against an opposing administration's action, without final enactment, would earn CHAMPIONED under the same standard. Two of the prior rating's three cited URLs (majorityleader.gov, energycommerce.house.gov) returned HTTP 403 and could not be content-verified; they are replaced/backstopped here by three verified primary sources. Vote tallies (225-204; 224-200) could not be re-verified because clerk.house.gov/congress.gov block automated fetch, but they are non-load-bearing details that do not affect the outcome.
