On April 15, 2026, Fulcher said in floor remarks supporting H.R. 6398 that Idaho’s large federal land base means approvals and the NEPA process can take years, citing that as the reason to streamline federal review.

Recent floor remarks show Fulcher still pressing for NEPA-related streamlining, but they do not show enactment or completion of the modernization goal.

Fulcher wrote that he has prioritized modernizing outdated laws like NEPA to improve forest management and wildfire mitigation, while saying additional reforms are still needed and that there is a long way to go.

He continues to advocate for NEPA modernization and frames it as unfinished work, which supports an unresolved assessment rather than delivery.

The issue page states that Fulcher’s priority includes modernizing NEPA to address poorly managed areas and catastrophic wildfire risk.

This is an official statement of ongoing intent, but it is not evidence of the promise being delivered or blocked by a final action.
