Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes a federal law called the FAST Act, which sets up a coordinated federal permitting process for certain large infrastructure projects. Right now, one way a project can qualify is if it is expected to cost more than $200 million. The bill would lower that cost threshold to $50 million in two places in the law, including the definition of a covered project and a section on the permitting process. The changes would take effect on January 1, 2027, or on the date the bill becomes law, whichever is later.
