What it does
The bill directs the Secretary of Energy to fund projects to restore and modernize National Laboratories, addressing deferred maintenance, critical infrastructure, and modernization needs for scientific and operational purposes. It authorizes $5 billion annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2030, with at least one-third managed by the Office of Science, and requires annual project reports to congressional appropriations and oversight committees. The bill also amends the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to update the Department of Energy’s facilities and infrastructure strategy, mandating a detailed 10-year plan and reporting on prioritization, costs, and inter-office coordination.
