Congress is once again debating permitting reform, but one of the biggest obstacles to new energy, infrastructure, and development projects often receives far less attention: frivolous litigation.
Even after projects secure the necessary permits, lawsuits aimed at challenging those approvals can delay construction for years, increasing costs, creating uncertainty, and preventing critical projects from moving forward. As policymakers consider how to modernize the permitting process, many are asking whether meaningful reform is possible without addressing the role litigation plays.
Join Pacific Legal Foundation for a virtual discussion with Senator Alan Armstrong (R-OK) examining the intersection of permitting reform and litigation reform. After the discussion with Senator Armstrong, an expert panel will dive deeper into current litigation trends, the challenges facing energy and infrastructure development, and the reforms Congress may consider moving forward.
Whether you are a legislator, attorney, environmental or energy policy expert, or currently navigating the building permit process, this conversation will provide valuable insight into one of the most important issues shaping America’s economic future.
