The House Committee on Energy and Commerce has ordered the Affordable Innovation for the Grid Act to be reported. This means a committee has voted to move the bill forward to the full House of Representatives. The vote was 44-0.
Why it matters: This is an early step in the legislative process. While the unanimous committee vote shows some agreement on the topic, the bill still has to pass both chambers of Congress and be signed by the President before any money can actually be spent or any new programs started.
Who it affects
- Utility companies and electrical grid operators
