HR 359 United States House · 119th Congress

Cost-Share Accountability Act of 2025

The Cost-Share Accountability Act of 2025 requires the Department of Energy to publicly report on its use of authority under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to reduce or eliminate cost-sharing requirements for energy projects. Specifically, the department must submit an initial report within 120 days of the law's enactment and then quarterly reports detailing these actions to Congress. These reports will be provided to the House and Senate committees overseeing energy and appropriations, and made publicly available online. The bill does not change cost-sharing rules but adds transparency about when waivers occur.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between the introduced and engrossed versions of HR 359 (Cost-Share Accountability Act of 2025). The only differences are minor formatting adjustments: a blank line was added after the introductory text and the section heading was reformatted. The reporting requirements themselves remain unchanged.
TECHNICAL

A blank line was added after the phrase 'the following new subsection:' for formatting clarity.

The section 2 heading 'Reporting requirements' was reformatted (likely a whitespace or encoding fix).
