(Worthy News) – The House approved a bipartisan public lands package Tuesday evening that permanently reauthorizes the popular Land and Water Conservation Fund, which Congress let expire in September.
Supporters say the bill, which passed 363-62, is the largest public lands bill considered by Congress in a decade, packaging 100 separate bills into one. The Senate passed it earlier this month on a 92-8 vote. The legislation now moves to the desk of President Trump, who is expected to sign it into law.
The measure won the support of a broad swath of interest groups, including the oil and gas industry, conservationists, and public lands advocates. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
