On May 26, the House of Representatives named conferees for the House-Senate Conference Committee to resolve differences between the House and Senate-passed versions of comprehensive energy legislation. House Republicans named 24 conferees and Democrats named 16 conferees. The list is below.
The Senate has yet to name its conferees. Congress will be out for a Memorial Day recess, it remains unclear and perhaps unlikely that the House and Senate will be able to complete the conference committee prior to the summer recess beginning July 16. APGA will be following up with its members located in the congressional districts of the conferees in terms of communicating APGA’s priority energy bill issues for conference committee.
