Surface Transportation Programs Extended to Dec. 3 While Budget Reconciliation Bill Gets Refined
October 29, 2021 – Last night, the U.S. House and Senate have both agreed to another one-month extension of federal surface transportation funding authorizations. The new bill (H.R. 5763), a simple and policy-free extension through midnight on December 3, passed the House by a vote of 358-59, and the Senate had pre-cleared the bill by unanimous consent, meaning that the legislation is being sent straight to President Biden for signature.
