House committee approves substitute for Pipeline Safety Authorization Act of 2026

The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure has approved a substitute version of the Pipeline Safety Authorization Act of 2026. This means the committee has replaced the original text of the bill with a new version before sending it toward a full House vote.

Why it matters: This is a procedural step in the legislative process. While it moves the bill closer to a potential vote on the House floor, it is not yet law and could still be changed or fail during further debate.

Who it affects

• The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
