S.26
Bonneville Unit Clean Hydropower Facilitation Act
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources

CBO expects that enacting S. 26 would lead to the development of hydropower facilities at

S. 26 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in Unfunded
