Bills Introduced – 9-26-24

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate leaving Washington for electioneering, there were 260 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 9851 To amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to establish a Hydrogen Technologies for Heavy Industry Demonstration Program, and for other purposes. Sorensen, Eric [Rep.-D-IL-17]

S 5276 A bill to require a roadmap for the future desired state for the solid rocket motor (SRM) industrial base, and for other purposes. Cornyn, John [Sen.-R-TX] 

I will be watching HR 9851 for language and definitions that would specifically include chemical safety requirements in the program.

I will be watching S 5276 as part of my expanding ‘space geek’ coverage. I will be watching for language and definitions that would include support for commercial space operations in the purview of the legislation.
