License to Drill Act

The Senate passed several measures, including a bill extending collection of drilling fees to fund faster review of energy permits, a bill redesignating the Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona as a national park, and a bill giving land to an Arizona county. Senator Lee welcomed the passage, and Senator Bennet also welcomed the Arizona park bill. Bennet went on to talk about economic conditions facing working families, tariffs, and other issues he said remain unresolved before the recess, while Senator Lankford spoke about the 50th anniversary of the Hyde amendment, unrelated to the bills passed.Written by AI from the debate.
