Sullivan Joins Colleagues in Introducing Comprehensive Regulatory and Permitting Reform Legislation

Press Release

U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), a member of the Senate Environmental and Public Works (EPW) Committee, joined Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va) and 43 of his Republican colleagues in introducing the Simplify Timelines and Assure Regulatory Transparency (START) Act, comprehensive federal regulatory permitting and project review reform legislation.

"I have been an avid supporter of permitting reform since I first arrived to the Senate in 2015. That's why I worked with the Trump administration on their NEPA rule, fought hard to ensure reforms were included in the bipartisan infrastructure law, and led 50 of my Senate colleagues in the passage, on a bipartisan vote, of a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval last month to repeal the Biden administration's new NEPA rules," Senator Sullivan said. "The START Act would make the Trump administration's NEPA rules law and streamline the already-onerous federal permitting process, as well as enact several other important reforms. This legislation will help the hard-working men and women who build, feed and grow this country get the job done."
