senate 01/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are introducing the "Full Responsibility and Expedited Enforcement Act" (FREE Act) to streamline the federal permitting process by evaluating current systems and exploring "permitting by rule" as an alternative. This approach seeks to reduce unnecessary delays and costs by implementing specific written standards for obtaining permits, while maintaining governmental oversight for compliance and enforcement.

Permitting by rule might save time, but it shouldn't sacrifice thoroughness for speed.

Could be a win for efficiency, but let's not forget to double-check the balance of oversight.

Why make it easier for businesses to skirt environmental and safety checks? Protect the people, not profit.

Streamlining is great as long as it doesn't mean we're skimping on safety and accountability.

Streamlining permits? More like giving corporations a free pass to sidestep regulations.

Permitting by rule sounds awfully like weak oversight in a shiny new package. No thanks!
