WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the passage of the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act by the U.S. House of Representatives, Marty Durbin, President of the U.S. Chamber’s Global Energy Institute, issued the below statement.
“The passage of the SPEED Act (H.R. 4776) marks a significant step toward strengthening America’s ability to build, invest, and compete. We commend the House of Representatives for prioritizing policies that enable growth and thank Chairman Bruce Westerman and Rep. Jared Golden for their leadership. As the focus now shifts to the Senate, we encourage lawmakers to carry this momentum forward and deliver a comprehensive bipartisan solution. The faster Congress delivers meaningful permitting reform, the sooner we can unlock American investment and economic growth.”
Ahead of the vote, the Chamber issued a Key Vote Letter and led a coalition of more than 80 organizations from across the economy urging lawmakers to support the SPEED Act.
