The House of Representatives has passed H.R. 7023, the Creating Confidence in Clean Water Permitting Act, as part of the House GOP's Energy Week. This legislative package, led by Representative David Rouzer and comprised of 5 standalone bills, aims to reform and restore the permitting processes under the Clean Water Act (CWA), which has been criticized for delays and halted permits for vital energy and infrastructure projects. The act includes several bills, such as the Judicial Review Timeline Clarity Act, introduced by Representative Eric Burlison, to streamline the CWA permitting process. This move, passed by the House, is intended to facilitate the completion of critical energy and infrastructure projects more efficiently and in a timely manner, while balancing economic prosperity with environmental protection to strengthen American energy independence and lower costs for families.
