US House has passed the infrastructure bill – heads now to Biden for signing

News

The US House of Representatives passed a bipartisan infrastructure bill late Friday, circa US$550bn. 

  • The Senate approved the bill rebooting transportation, utilities & broadband in August. 
  • US President Biden is expected to sign in days. Biden is scheduled to speak Saturday morning (US time). 

A second bill (circa $1.75tln) re tax and spending was not voted on yet. Next week the House is on a break so there is least a week’s wait for this. A ‘procedural’ vote passed to tee up voting when the Reps. return from their break. The Congressional Budget Office will spend the week in preparations.
