Summary of Bill HR 2030

Bill 119 HR 2030, also known as the "EPA Permitting Improvement Act of 2021," aims to streamline the permitting process for certain projects by giving permit approvals by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the force and effect of law. This means that once the EPA approves a permit for a project, it would be legally binding and cannot be easily challenged or overturned.

The bill seeks to reduce delays and uncertainties in the permitting process, which can often hinder economic development and infrastructure projects. By giving EPA permit approvals the force of law, the bill aims to provide more certainty to project developers and investors, ultimately leading to more efficient and timely project completion.

In addition to addressing permitting issues, the bill also includes provisions for improving coordination between federal agencies involved in the permitting process and promoting transparency and accountability in decision-making. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2030 aims to streamline the permitting process, reduce regulatory burdens, and promote economic growth while ensuring that environmental protections are still upheld.
