DAINES HELPS INTRODUCE BILL TO OVERHAUL BROKEN U.S. PERMITTING SYSTEM

Press Release

"Our permitting system is broken, and Montanans are paying for it. Government red tape makes it harder to manage our forests and prevent catastrophic wildfires, cuts Montana energy jobs, threatens Montanans' access to reliable and affordable energy and holds up projects that would improve our Montana communities. This bill gives the permitting processes a much-needed update for the benefit of folks in every corner of our state and across the country, including by reversing the disastrous Cottonwood decision that has tied the hands of our land managers, put our loggers out of work and made it harder to prevent deadly wildfires."
