The legislation, introduced by Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), now awaits consideration by the full Senate before it can be signed into law.\n\nFollowing the devastating Dragon Bravo Fire at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Rep. Crane introduced H.R. 5729 on October 10, 2025, to accelerate recovery efforts. After the bill received a hearing and markup, the House unanimously passed the measure on March 16, 2026. If enacted, the legislation would grant the National Park Service emergency contracting authority to cut through red tape and avoid unnecessary delays across all fire-related work. Eligible activities include forest management, rebuilding, and infrastructure improvements.\n\nRep. Crane drafted the bill in coordination with park staff, small business owners, concessioners, and local elected officials. He has stayed in close contact with leaders on the ground and recently hosted Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum at the North Rim. With today\u2019s progress in the Senate, Rep. Crane continues to push for the bill\u2019s final passage.", 1, "2026-10-01T11:23:28Z", "2026-10-01T11:25:15Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://crane.house.gov/2026/09/30/rep-cranes-north-rim-restoration-act-unanimously-clears-senate-committee/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 3.2224049791693687, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
