Hudson To Chair Hearing on Modernizing Satellite Regulations

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-09), Chairman of the Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, will chair a hearing today on the SAT Streamlining Act, which aims to modernize and expedite the processing of satellite and space licenses.

"American innovators are at the leading edge of technological advancements that will serve our families and businesses for years to come. However, our laws governing satellite technologies often do not reflect our ability and shared goal to continue that progress," said Chairman Hudson.

"I look forward to a conversation about modernizing our regulations so bureaucracy and red tape do not prevent another great American century."

The hearing will discuss the impact of the following legislation:

  • H.R. 8255, the SAT Streamlining Act (Rep. Brett Guthrie/Pallone)

WHAT: Subcommittee on Communications and Technology hearing on updating satellite regulations

DATE: Tuesday, April 21, 2026
