Expanding the Fast Track Act

Summary#

This bill changes two parts of title XLI of the FAST Act to lower the cost estimate threshold that determines which infrastructure projects are eligible for certain permitting processes. It replaces "$200,000,000" with "$50,000,000" in both cited sections. The change takes effect on January 1, 2027, or on the date of enactment, whichever is later.

What it means for you#

If you plan, fund, or build infrastructure projects, projects with estimated costs of $50,000,000 or more (instead of $200,000,000) may become eligible for the FAST Act permitting processes referenced in the bill. The bill text does not describe which specific permitting procedures or agencies will change.
