A pair of senators is planning to advance a coastal infrastructure bill at a hearing next month after scrapping discussions about adding it as an amendment to a high-profile permitting reform bill that passed out of committee on Wednesday.

Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) had sought to add the “Reinvesting in Shoreline Economies and Ecosystems Act” as an amendment to the major bipartisan permitting reform bill that was considered in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday, Whitehouse told the Washington Examiner. The RISEE Act would direct revenue streams from offshore and onshore energy projects to states to use for coastal restoration and conservation.
