Resources Panel Expected to Renew Push For Energy Development, Species Act Reform

摘要

The House Natural Resources Committee can be expected to renew legislation for onshore and offshore energy development in 2013 and to lay the groundwork for reform or the Endangered Species Act. Natural resource development and access to public lands will remain top priorities even if speculation proves correct that Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), chairman of the committee, would rather depart for the chairmanship of the House Rules Committee.
