Markup agenda and July 14 timetable
As reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Chairman Sam Graves announced that the committee will hold the rescheduled markup at 10:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, in Room 2167 of the Rayburn House Office Building.The session is due to cover several legislative items, including an amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 9497, the Water Resources Development Act of 2026. The committee also is scheduled to consider General Services Administration Capital Investment and Leasing Program resolutions and approve updated subcommittee rosters following changes on the Majority side.
Water infrastructure scope and sector implications
The water resources bill is designed to support improvements across U.S. ports and harbors, the inland waterway navigation system, flood and storm risk management, environmental projects, and other parts of national water infrastructure.The markup is a key procedural step for infrastructure legislation because it allows committee members to review, amend, and advance measures that can affect construction priorities, transportation networks, and long-term public works planning across multiple regions of the country.
