HOUSE PANEL DELAYS BILL TO STUDY CLIMATE PLANNING FOR WATERSHEDS

摘要

The House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee (T&I) has delayed action on a bill to examine the nation's watersheds for their ability to withstand climate change impacts because it is not "ready" according to a panel spokesman, though it is unclear what is causing the delay or when T&I may consider the bill.rnThe legislation, which has yet to be formally introduced but was slated to be considered with other legislation at a June 4 markup, would create a comprehensive assessment and planning structure to bring federal, state, local and stakeholder interests together to analyze current and projected future conditions at a watershed level.
