The bill would direct the Secretary of Energy to fund projects that repair and modernize national laboratories. Projects could include work on research labs, support buildings, utilities, roads, power plants, and other critical infrastructure. Modernization could support current and emerging science missions, computing needs, and safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible operations. The Secretary would send Congress yearly lists of funded projects through fiscal year 2030 and, within one year of enactment, a strategy and 10-year plans for laboratory and research facility infrastructure.
The bill focuses on national laboratory facilities and research infrastructure. It does not specify direct services or benefits for individuals.
The bill authorizes $5 billion per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. At least one-third of the amounts made available each year would be managed by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. The authorization does not itself provide the funding.
