## Key points

- The Senate voted 73-25 to advance the proposal.
- The bill includes deadlines and protections for electricity ratepayers.

## Summary

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum urged the House to pass a bipartisan permitting bill after the Senate voted to advance it, arguing that faster approvals could help expand US energy and infrastructure projects. He said delays and legal uncertainty hold back investment and competitiveness, while stressing that projects would still have to meet environmental rules.

The Senate voted 73-25 to advance the bill on Monday; it still needs to pass both chambers and be signed by President Donald Trump. The proposal would set deadlines for agencies after environmental reviews and require federal regulators to develop rules making data centres and other large users pay for grid infrastructure built to serve them. Burgum said the measure could add 0.5 to 0.75 percentage points to annual GDP growth, and described one drilling permit process in New Mexico as involving 14 different IT systems.
