Senate to consider House-passed 2010 SAFETEA-LU extension

March 5, 2010


With a 217-201 vote on March 4, the House of Representatives passed an amended version of the “jobs bill,” NSSGA reported in its Special Legislative Update. Although the House amended the bill, the legislation keeps intact the provisions previously passed by the Senate. This includes the SAFETEA-LU extension through Dec. 31, the $19.5 billion transfer into the Highway Trust Fund and restoration of the rescission of contract authority that took place when SAFETEA-LU expired on Sept. 30, 2009. The bill now goes back to the Senate for consideration.
