Wyoming Chamber Applauds House Passage of the SPEED Act

The Wyoming Chamber of Commerce applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development (SPEED) Act (H.R. 4776); a meaningful step toward strengthening America’s ability to build, invest, and compete.

Permitting reform is critical to advancing infrastructure, energy development, and economic growth, particularly in energy-producing states like Wyoming. By streamlining and standardizing the permitting process, the SPEED Act helps reduce unnecessary delays while maintaining responsible oversight, creating greater certainty for businesses, workers, and communities.

We want to thank Wyoming’s Representative Harriet Hageman for her leadership in championing this bill and supporting Wyoming’s businesses and workforce. We also commend House leadership, including Chairman Westerman and Representative Golden, for advancing bipartisan solutions that support economic development and long-term competitiveness.

The Wyoming Chamber joins the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a broad coalition of business organizations in urging the U.S. Senate to continue this momentum and deliver comprehensive permitting reform. The faster Congress acts, the sooner Wyoming, and the nation, can unlock investment, create jobs, and strengthen our energy and infrastructure future.
