This is a list of the amendments filed by members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in advance of the scheduled surface transportation bill markup on June 17, 2020.

Amendments are drafted to the text of the amendment in the nature of a substitute for H.R. 2, the INVEST in America Act, which will be used as base text for the markup (the text of the amendment in the nature of a substitute is here and our revised authorization table is here). Members were told to have amendments submitted by 1 p.m. on Monday, June 15 in order to have their amendment eligible for potential inclusion in an en bloc package to be offered by chairman DeFazio. However, the deadline for amendments to actually be filed in order to be offered at markup by their sponsor is 1 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16.

Clicking on the amendment sponsor’s name (if boldfaced and hyperlinked) will take you to the text of the amendment on the T&I website.

These are all of the amendments filed. Amendments that have been acted on are indented and bulleted. 

There was a 57-amendment en bloc package of Republican amendments offered at the very end of the June 18 session that did not pass, but the contents are not identified by sponsor on docs.house.gov – the list below does not reflect these yet, but we will work on adding them.
