WASHINGTON — The House will take up legislation on energy issues during the last week of March, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Wednesday.
Scalise, R-La., did not say what bills would be included in the bunch, though both the House Natural Resources and the Energy and Commerce committees have markups Thursday.
Bills scheduled for markup Thursday include legislation by Natural Resourcs Chairman Bruce Westerman, R-Ark., that would speed federal permitting approvals and narrow environmental regulation, and bills to support liquefied gas exports, pipeline construction, domestic mining and to ban moratoria on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a type of drilling.
