Extend the authorization for the Kaweah Project hydroelectric permits.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
H.R. 1044 passed the House of Representatives and has been held by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources since July 14, 2025. The Senate must now schedule a vote to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is that the Senate often fails to act on legislation passed by the House. History shows that most bills passed by one chamber do not become law because they never receive a vote in the other chamber.
