Permitting Council Looks to Lame Duck Session to Pass Reform Deal

Emily Domenech, executive director of the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council, said that she thinks there is a 'good chance' that a permitting reform deal passed in the Senate will make it through the House during the upcoming lame duck session. Domenech said that lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have recognized how important it is to make it easier to build in America and it will be crucial and difficult to keep that coalition together in order to pass the bill.
