Summary of Bill HR 1067
The Standard Fees Act, also known as Bill 117 HR 1067, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to establish a standard fee schedule for federal agencies when they are providing services to the public.

It is currently being debated in Congress, and its ultimate fate will depend on the outcome of the legislative process.
