House Environment Subcommittee to Hold Hearing on Draft Brownfield Bills – March 4, 2026

The House Environment Subcommittee of the Energy & Commerce Committee will hold a legislative hearing this Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at 2:00 PM to consider four draft brownfield bills. In addition to reauthorizing EPA’s brownfields program, the proposals include a range of additional policy changes. Notably, the draft legislation does not include the brownfields tax deduction.

This hearing is separate from the bipartisan Senate reauthorization bill passed last year, which focused more narrowly on continuing EPA’s existing brownfields program.
