What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryBlocks energy products from Russian-oil refineries
The bill expands current import restrictions to include energy products made at any refinery that processes crude oil from Russia. Right now, the law already blocks direct Russian energy imports, but this bill closes what some see as a loophole—oil refined elsewhere using Russian crude would also be prohibited. The President could lift this ban only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine, stops military hostilities, poses no threat to NATO countries, and respects Ukraine's right to choose its own government.
How it affects you
This affects anyone who uses gasoline, heating oil, or other energy products, since it could change where the U.S. sources refined petroleum and potentially influence energy prices. Refineries and energy companies that process or import crude oil would need to ensure their supply chains don't include Russian oil, which could reshape their sourcing decisions.

Ending Importation of Laundered Russian Oil Act
This bill prohibits the importation of energy products that were produced at any refinery that uses crude oil originating in Russia.
Current law prohibits the importation of Russian products that are classified under Chapter 27 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (which includes mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation, bituminous substances, and mineral waxes) unless the President terminates the prohibition after meeting certain requirements. The bill extends this prohibition and the termination provisions to products that were produced at any refinery that uses crude oil originating in Russia.
Under the termination provisions, the President may terminate this prohibition, subject to congressional disapproval, if the President certifies that Russia (1) has reached an agreement with Ukraine to withdraw Russian forces and cease military hostilities in Ukraine, (2) poses no immediate military threat of aggression to any North Atlantic Treaty Organization member, and (3) recognizes the right of the Ukrainian people to independently and freely choose their own government.
