"Senate appropriators approved legislation Thursday morning for agencies paramount to President Joe Biden’s climate and environmental justice priorities.

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved its plan to fund the Interior Department, EPA and other agencies. The bill passed 28-0.

The legislation would approve almost $42.7 billion in appropriations for fiscal 2024, according to a bill summary released Thursday morning. That is much more than the $25.4 billion in the House’s version."
