Senate Passes S 4148 – CFATS Extension

On Wednesday (GPO one day behind on printing Congressional Record) the Senate passed S 4148, a three-year extension of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program. The bill would extend the program through July 27^th, 2023. The bill was passed under the Senate’s unanimous consent process on the same day that it was introduced.

The bill will now go to the House where it will likely be taken up the next day the full House is in session. It is likely to be considered under the suspension of the rules process.
