House Passes SPEED Act Narrowing Environmental Reviews
Original: House-Passed SPEED Act Would Narrow Federal Environmental Reviews
The US House of Representatives has passed the SPEED Act, legislation that would narrow the scope of federal environmental reviews required for major infrastructure and development projects. Supporters argue the change would speed up permitting and cut delays, while environmental advocates warn it would weaken protections under cornerstone review laws. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its prospects remain uncertain.
Why now: The House just passed the bill, reigniting debate over permitting reform versus environmental protection.
