Quiver AI Summary
Bill introduced on transmission projects: Reps. Scott Peters and Gabe Evans introduced the "CLEAR Act" of 2026, a proposal aimed at speeding up the buildout of large power line projects. The bill would change how certain Department of Energy-coordinated transmission projects are reviewed in court.
What the legislation would do: According to the release, the measure would align those projects with Federal Power Act review standards, including a 120-day window to file suit, a requirement to take part in environmental review before suing, and direct appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Supporters' rationale: The lawmakers said the bill could reduce permitting delays, give developers and local stakeholders more certainty, and help lower electricity costs.
