Several of Stauber\u2019s priorities were included in this legislation, including his Brake for Kids Act and several permitting reform provisions.\n\nUnder this legislation, Minnesota is estimated to receive $4,836,979,308 in highway apportionments and $141,618,838 per year to support the rehabilitation and construction of bridges in the State. It also prioritizes rural and small communities through dedicated funding for discretionary grant programs.\n\nOf this legislation, Stauber said, \u201cThis week, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee marked up the most significant surface transportation bill in decades. This legislation returns our nation\u2019s investments to traditional infrastructure projects by securing the first new revenue into the Highway Trust Fund in over 30 years and making the largest investment into bridges in our history. Rural America is being prioritized under this legislation, and once passed, I expect to see significant funding distributed to much needed projects in Minnesota\u2019s Eighth District. I was also proud to have many of my legislative priorities included, like significant permitting reform to speed up project delivery and my Brake for Kids Act to protect kids from illegal school bus passings. I look forward to seeing this legislation swiftly pass off the House Floor.\u201d\n\nHere is a breakdown of bill highlights included in the bill:", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:21:02Z"]], "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://stauber.house.gov/media/press-releases/stauber-ensures-minnesota-priorities-are-included-build-america-250-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9193788282573223, "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"}
