Senate Committee Votes This Week on Bipartisan Pipeline Safety Bills
The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee is set to vote this week on crucial bipartisan legislation. This marks the first effort since 2020 to reauthorize the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's safety programs. The bill, titled the 'PIPES Act of 2025', is led by Representative Sam Graves [R-MO-6] and co-sponsored by Mr. Larsen, Mr. Webster, and Ms. Titus.
The committee will also consider the yet-to-be-released 'Pipeline Safety Act of 2025', a bipartisan effort from Chair Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and ranking member Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.). This bill aims to strengthen pipeline safety regulations and improve the administration's ability to enforce them. The upcoming vote is a significant step towards enhancing the nation's pipeline safety infrastructure.
The Senate committee's vote this week on the 'PIPES Act of 2025' and the upcoming 'Pipeline Safety Act of 2025' signals a bipartisan commitment to bolstering pipeline safety. These efforts, if passed, will ensure the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's programs remain effective and up-to-date.
