The PIPELINE Safety Act would reauthorize and significantly increase funding for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s safety programs for five years.
Reauthorize and significantly increase funding for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's safety programs for five years.
Occurrences
Evidence
GovInfo lists S. 2975 as an engrossed Senate bill with last action date April 29, 2026. The bill title indicates it would amend title 49 to enhance pipeline safety.
The Congressional Record says the House received notice from the Senate that "the Senate passed S. 2975" and then records the bill as "held at the desk."
Assessments
The available federal evidence shows S. 2975 passed the Senate on April 29, 2026 and was received by the House on May 4, 2026, but it had not become law. Because the promised outcome requires reauthorization and increased PHMSA safety-program funding for five years, Senate passage alone does not deliver the outcome. Peters appears to have materially advanced the effort during his current Senate term, so the promise remains pending rather than failed.
