The vote on whether to pass the bill

This is the real decision in this chamber. Passing here sends the bill to the other chamber, which must pass it too before it can go to the President.

What was being voted on

119-HR-5587 — HEATS Act

This bill aims to amend the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970. It seeks to waive Federal drilling permit requirements for certain geothermal exploration and production activities on non-Federal surface estates. This applies if the United States holds less than a 50 percent interest in the subsurface geothermal estate and a State permit is submitted to the Secretary. Additionally, the bill exempts these activities from certain requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
