7/29/14: Letter regarding passage of H.R. 4315

Today, the United State House of Representatives passed H.R. 4315, the “Endangered Species Transparency and Reasonableness Act’’, by a vote of 233-190.  Today’s vote brought together 4 separate pieces of legislation aimed at improving the transparency and accountability of decisions implementing the Endangered Species Act.  We laud the efforts of Congressmen Hastings, Lummis, Neugebauer, and Huizenga to modernize and improve the nearly 41 year-old Act and encourage the Senate to enact similar legislation so that these important steps can be taken to bring the ESA into the 21st Century.
