Mr. Griffith introduced H.R. 5549, the Efficient Nuclear Licensing Hearings Act, in the 119th Congress.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): GovInfo identifies Griffith as sponsor of H.R. 5549. The bill text would amend the Atomic Energy Act so the NRC may issue covered licenses without a hearing when no affected person requests one, directly targeting the mandatory uncontested hearing requirement.

Griffith directly led a serious federal legislative effort by sponsoring H.R. 5549, the Efficient Nuclear Licensing Hearings Act, which targeted the NRC mandatory hearing requirement for uncontested covered license applications and advanced out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on September 2, 2026. But the evidence shows committee reporting only, not House passage, Senate passage, enactment, or actual repeal of the requirement. Because the promised policy outcome had not been delivered, this is a failed but serious attempt rather than fulfillment.
