Maddy summaryHCR 35 is a non-binding resolution passed by Ohio's legislature urging Congress to reform federal permitting processes for energy infrastructure. It specifically cites excessive delays under laws like the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as barriers to building new transmission lines, pipelines, and energy projects, noting reviews now take up to 4.5 years. The resolution requests faster approvals without weakening environmental protections, aiming to support grid reliability and domestic energy production. As a resolution, it does not enact changes but formally asks Congress to act on these permitting reforms.
