This week, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security passed S. 280, a bill sponsored by senators Portman (R-Ohio) and McCaskill (D-Mo.). The bill creates an interagency council to coordinate and expedite permits for major infrastructure projects. The legislation would require cataloguing lists of major projects to review, scheduling review deadlines and tracking status throughout the review process. AGC and industry allies have supported this legislation.
