Sen. Cantwell applauds committee approval of Energy Department research and development legislation

In a business meeting held recently to consider pending legislation, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), ranking member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee applauded the committee’s advancement of the Department of Energy Research and Innovation Act.

The bill, S. 2503, would authorize various research and development programs within the Department Of Energy’s Office of Science, including authorizations within each of the six core program offices.

Chair Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Cantwell introduced the legislation early last week.

“I am also pleased by the inclusion of S. 2503, the Department of Energy Research and Innovation Act, which the Chair and I have cosponsored,” Cantwell said. “This makes the smart investments needed to ensure the United States remains the world’s leader in science and technology innovation. It includes key authorizations of technology transfer activities to expand commercial impact of Department Of Energy programs and authorizations for research and development of advanced nuclear energy technology.”
