Congressional Bills H.R. 972, H.R. 2066 and H.R. 2815 Signed into Law

from The White House In Audio · host Instaread Podcast

On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed three pieces of bipartisan legislation into law focused on economic growth, infrastructure development, and land entitlement finalization.The “Investing in All of America Act of 2025” is a major component of the administration’s economic agenda to revitalize "Main Street" and secure the domestic supply chain.Unlocking Capital: The law modifies the leverage caps for Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs), allowing them to access more capital for specific types of investments.Targeted Growth: To ensure the "New Golden Age" reaches every corner of the country, the Act excludes investments made in rural areas, low-income communities, small manufacturers, and critical technology companies from the standard leverage limits.Strategic Impact: This encourages private investment in the industries and regions most vital to American national security and economic independence.The “Sloan Canyon Conservation and Lateral Pipeline Act” addresses the critical infrastructure needs of the growing Las Vegas Valley while balancing environmental stewardship.Water Security: The Act directs the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to grant necessary rights-of-way to the Southern Nevada Water Authority.Infrastructure Surge: This allows for the construction of a vital water transmission pipeline and related facilities to serve the Las Vegas region.Conservation: Simultaneously, the law expands the boundaries of the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area in Clark County, Nevada.The “Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025” resolves long-standing land claims under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA).Flexibility for Tribes: The law waives specific federal land requirements for the Cape Fox Village Corporation, allowing the corporation to select other previously identified lands better suited for their settlement purposes.Finalizing Claims: This action provides clarity and finality to land entitlements, empowering Alaska Native communities to manage their resources and build a more prosperous future.Conclusion:These legislative actions reflect the President’s ongoing commitment to cutting bureaucratic red tape, empowering small business owners, and ensuring that American infrastructure—from water systems to technology startups—remains the strongest in the world as the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary.1. Strengthening Small Business and Manufacturing (H.R. 2066)2. Securing Water Infrastructure for Nevada (H.R. 972)3. Finalizing Land Entitlements for Alaska Natives (H.R. 2815)
