Key Takeaways
- The PERMIT Act will test whether Congress is willing to rewrite Clean Water Act permitting rules for pipelines and other projects.
- The bill seeks to codify a definition for "navigable waters," which could reduce regulatory whiplash.
- It would also tighten permit processes by narrowing state review powers and lawsuit standings.
After clearing the U.S. House on Dec. 11, the PERMIT Act now heads to the Senate, where lawmakers will consider a revised legal framework to reduce regulatory whiplash, tighten review timelines and lower litigation risk for energy infrastructure.
