CURTIS, ROSEN INTRODUCE BILL TO COUNTER HEZBOLLAH’S INFLUENCE IN LATIN AMERICA
Senators Curtis, Chair of the Foreign Relations Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, and Rosen introduced the No Hezbollah in Our Hemisphere Act, bipartisan legislation to direct the U.S. Department of State and other federal agencies to assess and counter Hezbollah’s influence in Latin America. The bill requires an official determination of whether any Latin American country meets the legal definition of a terrorist sanctuary and imposes restrictions on officials who support Hezbollah.
CURTIS, HICKENLOOPER INTRODUCE BILL TO EXPAND ENERGY PRODUCTION ON EXISTING LAND LEASES
Senators Curtis and Hickenlooper today introduced the Co-Location Energy Act, bipartisan legislation that takes a forward-thinking approach to unlock renewable energy potential. By allowing wind and solar projects to be co-located on existing federal energy leases, the Co-Location Energy Act provides a streamlined framework for developers to evaluate and build projects on already-disturbed federal lands with the consent of the current leaseholder.
CURTIS, SCOTT INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO BRING ACCOUNTABILITY TO BROADBAND EXPANSION FUNDS
Senator Curtis joined Senator Scott and six of their Senate Republican colleagues in introducing the Broadband Buildout Accountability Act, bicameral legislation aimed at increasing accountability and transparency for the billions of taxpayer dollars allocated for broadband expansion—funding that has yet to connect a single American to high-speed internet in the last four years. The legislation would remove the Freedom of Information Act exemption for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program, ensuring the public has the right to request and review documents detailing how the $42 billion provided for broadband development under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is being allocated and spent.
