Amending the ESA

[sagebrush]

Please contact your representatives and ask their support for HR 4315, 4316, 4317 and 4318. This group of amendments will improve transparency of actions under the ESA and require the use of sound scientific data, including information from states and local jurisdictions, in the determination of threatened and endangered species.

Members Introduce Four Common Sense Bills to Update the Endangered Species Act








WASHINGTON, D.C., March 27, 2014 - House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04), Rep. Cynthia Lummis (Wyoming-at large), Rep. Randy Neugebauer (TX-19), and Rep. Bill Huizenga (MI-02) today introduced four limited bills to improve and update the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The bills are supported by all of the Members of the ESA Congressional Working Group, representing districts across the nation, and are based on the recommendations and findings of their report and input from a broad array of stakeholders, including the Western Governors? Association. The four bills focus on transparency and species recovery.

The House Natural Resources Committee will hold a Full Committee legislative hearing on these bills on Tuesday, April 8th.

?These are very simple, straightforward, and common sense bills and provide a good starting point as we begin the legislative process for improving the Endangered Species Act,? said Chairman Hastings. ?The bills are, by design, narrowly focused and something that both Republicans and Democrats can support. Increasing transparency; posting data online; enhancing state, local, and tribal participation; and reducing taxpayer-financed attorneys fees to help direct taxpayer dollars towards recovery efforts are small, but important steps in making smart and sensible updates to the ESA.?
