Shreve Passes First Bill in Congress: The CASE Act

Washington, DC — Congressman Jefferson Shreve announced that his first bill has passed Congress. The bipartisan Courthouse Affordability and Space Efficiency (CASE) Act ensures that the federal government is a more responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. 

 

The Courthouse Affordability and Space Efficiency (CASE) Act establishes stricter guidelines for federal courthouse construction and expansion projects. By requiring the federal government to match courthouse size and cost with demonstrated need, the bill prevents wasteful spending and ensures taxpayer dollars are used responsibly. The legislation reflects a bipartisan commitment to efficiency, accountability, and good governance.

 

 

Rep. Shreve said, "Drawing on my experience building a business from a small startup, I know how unnecessary or oversized assets can hinder operations. The federal government has long fallen into the habit of overspending on courthouses. The CASE Act reverses this trend by promoting smarter use of resources and reducing costs. This legislation supports the Administration’s efforts to “right-size” government while incorporating a measure of Hoosier common sense."
