Dossier Legislative introduced 18-sep-2024
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

To amend Public Law 99-338 with respect to Kaweah Project permits.

Key claim: This legislation would authorize the Department of the Interior to renew or extend operating permits for the Kaweah hydroelectric project located within Sequoia National Park.

Abstract

(HR9492 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2024-09-18): Subcommittee Hearings Held

Why this matters

The proposal addresses continued operation of an existing hydroelectric project within a national park through facility-specific permit authority. It remains introduced legislation, not an enacted permit extension, and the finding provides no basis to quantify effects on electricity costs, generation, or park resources.
