The FREE Act is a plan to make getting permits from the government quicker and easier by allowing them to be automatically approved if people promise to follow certain rules.

The Modernizing Clean Air Permitting Act of 2024 is a plan to change some air pollution rules to treat things like wildfires differently and make it easier for businesses to lower their pollution and still meet the rules.
