Portman issued the following statement: The federal governmentneeds to work better for the American people and my bipartisan Construction Consensus Procurement Improvement is a big step in that direction. This legislationwill make sure that federally-funded construction projects are competitive both for cost and quality. American taxpayers deserve a streamlined, less costly and more accountable federal government and passage of this bill will help to ensure that. I urge the House to pass this common-sense legislation quickly. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
