Congratulations to @SenatorRisch for this historic conservation victory and your strong bipartisan leadership in moving this critical conservation bill over the finish line with @SenatorHeinrich@RepMaloyUtah@Rep_Peltola!@TroutUnlimited
Passage of my bill with @SenatorHeinrich, the Good Samaritan Remediation of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act, out of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is another step toward this commonsense legislation becoming law. This bill will empower Good Samaritans to conduct vital remediation work at long abandoned mine sites, and I urge the House of Representatives to vote on this legislation immediately.
BREAKING: The House has PASSED my Good Samaritan mine clean up bill.
This victory belongs to every person who rolled up their sleeves to fix this longstanding injustice, & I’d like to thank those who have carried the baton to get us to this point.
Next step: @POTUS' signature!
The National Wildlife Refuge System is wild and wonderous and turns 120 years old today!
