Funds would go to fix and update National Laboratories for science and energy research.
This bill would set aside $5 billion each year for five years to fix and update the nation's National Laboratories. This money would help address overdue repairs and modernize facilities for science and energy research. It would also require the Department of Energy to create a long-term plan for managing these important research sites.
Today, there is no specific directive for the Secretary of Energy to fund projects for deferred maintenance, critical infrastructure, and modernization of National Laboratories. There is also no comprehensive, updated strategy for their facilities. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Energy would be directed to fund these projects. This would involve an authorization of $5 billion annually for the government's budget years 2026 through 2030. The Secretary would also be required to implement and report on a comprehensive strategy for facilities and infrastructure across several Department of Energy offices.
