Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) welcomed last night’s Senate passage of commercial space legislation that emerged from a House-Senate conference committee. The final bill includes key provisions from Rubio and is expected to pass the House next week before heading to the president to be signed into law.
“Throughout our entire economy, we need to eliminate unnecessary regulations that cost too much and make it harder for American innovators to create jobs,” Rubio said. “The reforms included here make it easier for our innovators to return Americans to suborbital space and will help the American space industry continue pushing further into space than ever before. This is an important win for Florida’s space exploration community, and it should soon become law.”
Following House passage of the SPACE Act in May and Senate passage of the U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitive Act in August, which Rubio sponsored, an agreement was reached that combined the two bills for final passage. Once passed by the House, which is expected as early as next week, the bill will be sent to the president for his signature and become law.
The final legislation includes the following two proposals Rubio had previously authored in the Senate, including one related to commercial recovery of space resources, a direct benefit to Florida’s space coast:
