Bill overview
The Full Responsibility and Expedited Enforcement Act (FREE Act) aims to streamline the federal permitting process by requiring agencies to evaluate their current systems, consider ‘permit by rule’ as an alternative, and establish clear procedures for such rule-based permitting. The bill seeks to reduce delays and costs associated with federal permits, focusing on efficient enforcement rather than bureaucratic hurdles. It also includes provisions for congressional oversight and potential legal recourse for applicants who face unjustified delays or denials.
