H.R. 9615

BRACE Act

Energy and Commerce Committee · Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA)

15 September 2026 | Passed House with amendment (voice vote)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would ease federal regulations on facilities that store lithium-ion batteries before they are recycled, allowing them to operate under less stringent rules and without special permits. This aims to make it easier and more practical for businesses to collect and prepare these batteries for recycling, which would help recover valuable minerals they contain.
