HR 6316 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend title 40, United States Code, to establish an expiration date of certain committee resolutions with respect to leases or projects, and for other purposes.

HR 6316 amends U.S. Code to require that committee resolutions approving federal leases or construction projects must result in action within 5 years or expire automatically. It directly affects the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, as well as federal agencies managing such projects. The key provision adds a 5-year deadline: resolutions approved after the bill's enactment must lead to a lease award or project initiation by that date, or they expire. This applies only to future resolutions, not existing ones, and aims to prevent indefinite committee approvals without follow-through.
