Senate Bill Would Overhaul Environmental Permitting Laws
Original: Senate bill would ‘overhaul’ environmental permitting laws
A bill in the US Senate proposes a sweeping overhaul of the country's environmental permitting laws. The legislation would change how major infrastructure and energy projects are reviewed and approved, a process long criticized by developers as too slow and by conservationists as already too weak. Details of the bill's specific provisions and its prospects in Congress remain limited.
Why now: Changes to environmental permitting rules affect infrastructure, energy and conservation debates, drawing attention from both industry and environmental groups.
