"4 Issues To Watch As Energy, EPA Bills Reach House Floor"

"The House this week will feature sharp fights over energy and environmental priorities as lawmakers consider a package of bills that contain annual funding for EPA, the Energy and Interior departments, and federal water projects.

As soon as tomorrow, the full House will begin debating a $402 billion, six-bill appropriations minibus, H.R. 8294, which contains the fiscal 2023 Interior-EPA, Energy-Water, Transportation-Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture-Rural Development, Financial Services-General Government, and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs bills (E&E Daily, July 11). It’s expected to pass by Thursday.

“Instead of catering to the biggest corporations and billionaires that despite record profits continue to raise their prices, we are bringing to the floor government funding bills that help the middle class, working families, small businesses and the vulnerable who work hard. We are committed to combating climate change,” House Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said."
