Full Committee Markup (July 14, 2026)

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Republicans held a full committee markup on July 14, 2026, focusing primarily on the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2026 and two General Services Administration (GSA) capital investment leasing program resolutions. The committee approved updated subcommittee rosters and considered the GSA resolutions en bloc, which fund critical federal building optimization projects for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, including building renovations and agency relocations. Despite some opposition concerning the Department of Education's headquarters relocation, the GSA resolutions were approved. The bulk of the meeting centered on the WRDA 2026, a bipartisan bill authorizing over $6 billion in water infrastructure investments nationwide, including flood control, navigation, environmental infrastructure, and drought resilience projects. Numerous members highlighted specific projects and funding allocations benefiting their districts, such as wastewater upgrades, coastal storm risk management, and harbor maintenance. Several amendments were proposed and either withdrawn or incorporated, including provisions to improve project delivery, enhance water supply management, and address regional concerns. The committee unanimously approved the WRDA 2026 as amended and ordered it favorably reported to the House. The meeting concluded with unanimous consent motions to facilitate further legislative actions and technical corrections related to the measures considered.
