The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will vote on dozens of bills Thursday, including proposals on offshore wind and public lands.
The markup will happen less than two months before Election Day and reflects a broad swath of priorities the panel is trying to wrap up before the end of this Congress.
The committee will debate S. 373, the “Reinvesting in Shoreline Economies and Ecosystems Act,” from Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and 24 co-sponsors.
