"The House GOP released a new amendment to its megabill after days of negotiations."
"House Republicans have scrapped public land sales from the latest version of their tax cut, energy and border security megabill, according to text released Wednesday evening.
Several House and Senate Republicans, including Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke, had complained about language that would sell or swap hundreds of thousands of acres in Utah and Nevada.
Negotiators also came up with what some lawmakers are calling a compromise on the fate of Inflation Reduction Act tax incentives. The new language tightens requirements for renewables but would be more generous to nuclear.
Republicans also appeared to have rolled back a provision popular with conservatives that would have required congressional approval of major rules."
