What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works announced a bipartisan agreement promising significant permitting reform within the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA). This reform aims to provide certainty that permitted energy infrastructure projects will retain their permits absent extraordinary circumstances. CMG is supporting these efforts, stating that the current regulatory environment makes infrastructure expensive and slows economic activity.
