Timeline Pushed Back for Mark-Up Of Senate Climate Change Bill

摘要

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), chairman of the Senate En-vironment and Public Works Committee, last week pushed back her timeline for completing mark-up on climate change legislation to early September. Boxer initially had said she wanted the committee to complete work on the bill and vote it out to the Senate floor by the Aug. 7 recess, but she postponed it to give herself more time to work on her legislative text and to give senators breathing room to digest the complex issues, as well as to grapple with heath-care legislation.
