Bill overview
The Critical Infrastructure Act of 2019 aims to streamline the construction of essential power infrastructure by increasing transparency and reducing environmental review requirements. It requires power administration agencies to disclose costs associated with environmental compliance and report on replacement power sources. The bill also prohibits the designation of critical habitat in certain water infrastructure areas and establishes categorical exclusions for powerline projects and those including prairie dog buffer zones, simplifying the environmental review process for these projects.
