The U.S. House Financial Services Committee reported that the House passed the Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act with provisions led by Chairman French Hill and Representative Maria Salazar that would broaden financing support for overseas civil nuclear projects and authorize additional U.S. capital participation in the Inter-American Investment Corporation. The bill incorporates Hill’s International Nuclear Energy Financing Act (H.R. 1474), which expands access to multilateral financing tools for civil nuclear energy projects abroad, positioned as supporting U.S. companies’ competitiveness and offering an alternative to energy sources backed by opposing nations. It also includes Salazar’s H.R. 6892, authorizing the Treasury Secretary to subscribe to additional shares of the Inter-American Investment Corporation’s capital stock to support private-sector development in the Western Hemisphere.
