The nonprofit League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has
published a National Environmental Scorecard every
Congress since 1970, the year it was founded by leaders of
the environmental movement following the first Earth Day.
LCV works to turn environmental values into national, state and local
priorities.
This edition of the National Environmental Scorecard provides objec-
tive, factual information about the most important environmental legis-
lation considered and the corresponding voting records of all members
of the second session of the 114th Congress. This Scorecard represents
the consensus of experts from about 20 respected environmental and con-
servation organizations who selected the key votes on which members of
Congress should be scored. LCV scores votes on the most important issues
of the year, including energy, climate change, public health, public lands
and wildlife conservation, and spending for environmental programs. The
votes included in this Scorecard presented members of Congress with a
real choice and help distinguish which legislators are working for environ-
mental protection. Except in rare circumstances, the Scorecard excludes
consensus action on the environment and issues on which no recorded
votes occurred.
Dedicated environmentalists and national leaders volunteered their
time to identify and research crucial votes. We extend special thanks to
our Board of Directors, Issues & Accountability Committee, and Score-
card Advisory Committee for their valuable input.

2005 OVERVIEW 2016 OVERVIEW
There is no doubt that 2016 will be remembered as a defining year in the fight to address climate
change. Even as we experienced the hottest year on record—for the third year in a row—and world
leaders came together on Earth Day to sign the historic climate agreement reached in Paris in December
2015, the extreme anti-environmental leadership in the U.S. House and Senate once again unleashed a
breathtaking array of assaults on the environment and public health.
The 2016 Scorecard includes a record-breaking 38 votes
in the U.S. House of Representatives, topping the previous
high of 35 votes in the 2014 and 2015 National Environ-
mental Scorecards, and reflecting that it remains the most
anti-environmental U.S. House in history. As in recent
years, these votes and those taken in the Senate left virtu-
ally no issue unscathed and included attacks on many of
our cornerstone environmental laws, including the Clean
Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the National Environ-
mental Policy Act (NEPA), the Endangered Species Act,
and the Antiquities Act. From working to block access
to the courts to attacking individual species to trying to
undermine clean energy advancements, the Republican-
led Congress pulled out all the stops to push a polluter-
friendly agenda.
While not included in the Scorecard, a couple of major
bills relating to public health and environmental protec-
tions were signed into law in 2016. The Frank R. Lauten-
berg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act reformed
the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and is the first
major update to an environmental statute in 20 years. It
provides the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) more
authority to regulate toxic chemicals, but it also rolled back
state authority to go above and beyond the federal govern-
ment’s efforts to restrict the uses of chemicals. The Water
Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act
provided long-overdue funding to address the water and
public health crisis for the families of Flint, Michigan, but it
also undermined endangered species protections in Califor-
nia. Finally, it’s also worth noting that while much time was
spent in both the Senate and the House on comprehensive
energy legislation, efforts to conference the Senate Energy
Committee Chair Lisa Murkowski’s (R-AK) and Ranking
Member Maria Cantwell’s (D-WA) compromise bill with
the House’s extreme pro-fossil fuel energy version, fell apart.
In a bit of positive news, 22 Republicans (14 in the House
and eight in the Senate) scored over 25 percent this year,
including three who scored 50 percent or higher, a signifi-
cant increase from the past few Scorecards. By compari-
son, only six scored over 25 percent in 2015 and only four
in 2014. Of course, we very much hope to see more Re-
publicans continue to step up to protect our environmental
safeguards in 2017. In additional good news, the number
of true environmental champions in Congress continues
to grow and become more vocal and effective than ever
before. In April, over 200 current and former members of
Congress, spanning 38 states, filed an amicus brief with
the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the EPA’s landmark
Clean Power Plan. In July, 20 U.S. Senators led by Sena-
tor Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and more than 15 U.S.
Representatives led by Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA-33)
expressed their disapproval of industrial climate denial

activities and exposed the polluter-funded “Web of De-
nial” in floor speeches and resolutions. In August, dozens
of members of Congress marked the centennial of the Na-
tional Park Service and joined LCV and the public to call
for the protection of more special places.
The best news of all from 2016 was that President Obama
made an incredible amount of progress in his final year,
firmly cementing his legacy as the greenest president in
our history. From the moratorium on new coal leasing on
public lands to the first-ever limits on methane pollution
from the oil and gas industry to guidance for NEPA to
incorporate climate change to the final heavy-duty truck
fuel efficiency standards to the agreement with nearly 200
countries to reduce super pollutant hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs) under the Montreal Protocol, it was a banner year
in the fight against climate change.
President Obama also protected additional important pub-
lic lands and waters in 2016, including designating three na-
tional monuments in the California desert, and the Katahdin
Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine, as well
as expanding the Papahanauamokuakea Marine National
Monument, now among the largest marine protected areas
in the entire world. He also created the first-ever marine
national monument in the Atlantic Ocean—the Northeast
Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument—
and designated the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah
and the Gold Butte National Monument in Nevada. In
what should be the norm going forward, the president con-
tinued to protect places that are culturally and historically
significant and that reflect the story of all Americans, such
as the Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monu-
ment honoring the struggle for women’s suffrage, and the
Stonewall National Monument honoring the start of the
LGBT rights movement. Following sustained protests by
the Standing Rock Sioux, the Army Corps of Engineers
denied the permit for the Dakota Access Pipeline, which
would have threatened the tribe’s water supply and sacred
lands. Finally, President Obama removed both the Atlan-
tic and Arctic Oceans from the five-year offshore drilling
plan and enacted an indefinite ban on drilling in virtually
the entire Arctic Ocean and important parts of the Atlantic
Ocean, preserving these precious and fragile ecosystems for
generations to come.
As we begin 2017, the stakes for protecting the environ-
ment and public health have never been higher and the
threats have never been greater. We must do more than
ever to work with our allies in Congress—and mobilize
the public—to fight the Trump administration and the
extreme Congressional leadership who want to roll back
our bedrock environmental laws and President Obama’s
incredible progress. LCV pledges to be there every step of
the way, working to combat the climate crisis and fighting
to protect our air, water, lands, and wildlife.

2016 SENATE VOTE DESCRIPTIONS
1. EXTREME ATTACK ON CLEAN WATER PROTECTIONS (CRA)Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) sponsored S.J. Res. 22, a Congressional Review Act “Resolution of Disap-proval,” which would void the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers’ Clean Water Rule that protects the small streams and wetlands that feed into the drinking water of 117 million people in this country. Not only would this radical legislative tool vacate the current rule, it would also prohibit the agencies from developing any “substantially similar” rule in the future, keeping the unworkable status quo in place. This could prevent the agencies from ever issuing rules that establish Clean Water Act protections for the waters covered by the Clean Water Rule, leaving our streams, wetlands, lakes, and rivers vulnerable to pollution for generations to come. On January 19, President Obama vetoed S.J. Res. 22. On January 21, the Senate rejected the motion to end debate and proceed to the S.J. Res. 22 veto override by a vote of 52-40 (60 votes were needed to invoke cloture; Senate roll call vote 5). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
2. CLEAN ENERGY FUNDINGSenator Brian Schatz (D-HI) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would increase funding for the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, an impor-tant Department of Energy research program intended to spur transformational breakthroughs in energy technologies. Additional funding for this program could help the United States lead in the clean energy transformation. On January 28, the Senate approved the Schatz amendment by a vote of 55-37 (Senate roll call vote 9). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. S. 2012 passed the Senate and moved to conference with a House-passed energy bill, but did not become law.
3. NATIONAL MONUMENTSSenator Mike Lee (R-UT) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would gut the Antiquities Act, the law first used to protect half of our national parks. The Antiquities Act has been used by 16 presidents of both parties to protect many of America’s most spe-cial places, from the Statue of Liberty to the Grand Canyon to the Pacific Remote Islands in Hawaii. On February 2, the Senate rejected the Lee amendment by a vote of 47-48 (Senate roll call vote 10). NO
IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
4. ENERGY EFFICIENCYSenator Al Franken (D-MN) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would establish a national energy efficiency resource standard based on successful programs in Minnesota that require electricity and natural gas providers to meet annual targets for cutting energy use in homes and businesses. Energy efficiency saves consumers money while reduc-ing the public health and environmental risks of pollution. This amendment would also send a clear market signal that would spur research and development of energy efficient technologies. On February 2, the Senate rejected the Franken amendment by a vote of 43-52 (Senate roll call vote 11). YES IS THE
PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 11
5. FAST TRACKING NATURAL GAS PIPELINESSenator John Barrasso (R-WY) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would set strict, arbitrary deadlines for the review of natural gas pipelines on fed-eral and tribal lands. This amendment undermines the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by promoting accelerated construction of pipelines and other components of natural gas production at the cost of the environmental reviews that NEPA established to identify serious safety and environ-mental risks. On February 2, the Senate rejected the Barrasso amendment by a vote of 52-43 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 12). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
6. LIMITING PUBLIC SAFEGUARDSSenator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would require federal agencies to eliminate a public protection with equal or greater compliance costs before adopting a new one. The Sullivan amendment adopts an extreme and unwise “cut-go” approach to rulemaking, drastically limiting the government’s ability to quickly respond to emerging public health threats and catastrophes like the drinking water crisis that unfolded in Flint, Michigan. On February 2, the Senate rejected the Sullivan amendment by a vote of 49-46 (Senate roll call vote 13). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
7. TAXPAYER HANDOUTS FOR FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIESSenator Brian Schatz (D-HI) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would phase out fossil fuel subsidies for coal and some of the largest producers of oil and gas over a four-year period, the same time period over which Congress recently decided to phase out tax credits for solar and wind. The fossil fuel subsidies phased out by this amendment represent billions of dollars of taxpayer handouts for a mature and highly-polluting industry. On February 2, the Senate rejected the Schatz amendment by a vote of 45-50 (Senate roll call vote 14). YES IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
8. GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD LABELINGSenator Pat Roberts (R-KS) introduced S. 2609, a bill to amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, also known as the Denying Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act, which would prevent states from requiring the labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In addition, the bill would make it harder for companies to inform customers about their ingredients, strip the Food and Drug Administration of its jurisdiction over GMO food disclosures, and force the Department of Agriculture to spend resources promoting biotechnology to consumers. The majority of people in the United States increasingly want to know more about where their food comes from, not less. But instead, this bill’s sweeping preemption of state and local authority is an attack on consumer choice and state efforts to protect human health and the environment. Senator Roberts’ bill was added to S. 764, but on March 16, the Senate rejected the DARK Act by a vote of 48-49 (Senate roll call vote 37). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. S. 764 was later amended and passed by both chambers and signed into law by President Obama on July 29.

9. ENCOURAGING ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOMESSenator Johnny Isakson (R-GA) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would reform the mortgage market to incentivize energy efficiency by ensuring that energy costs are included in the underwriting process. More efficient homes save money for homeown-ers while reducing carbon pollution. On April 19, the Senate approved the Isakson amendment by a vote of 66-31 (Senate roll call vote 49). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. S. 2012 passed the Senate and moved to conference with a House-passed energy bill, but did not become law.
10. LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND (LWCF)Senator James Lankford (R-OK) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would divert money away from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) in order to address maintenance projects in our national parks. This amendment would restrict spend-ing from LWCF’s statutorily-directed purpose in order to address the National Park Service’s deferred maintenance backlog. On April 19, the Senate rejected the Lankford amendment by a vote of 34-63 (Senate roll call vote 50). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
11. WIND ENERGY TRANSMISSION LINE Senator John Boozman (R-AR) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would require additional studies before proceeding with the construction of a 700-mile electricity transmission project that would bring wind energy from the Great Plains to the south-east. The project, known as the Plains and Eastern Clean Line project, would provide much-needed transmission capacity to our outdated grid and has already been approved under a process created by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. On April 19, the Senate rejected the Boozman amendment by a vote of 42-55 (Senate roll call vote 51). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
12. VICTORY BONDS FOR CLEAN ENERGYSenator Tom Udall (D-NM) offered an amendment to S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which would require the secretary of the Treasury to develop a plan to issue Clean Energy Victory Bonds. These bonds would aim to raise as much as $50 billion and would be used to finance clean energy projects, including wind, solar, advanced vehicles, and fuel cells. Rapid deployment of clean energy technology is the best way to fight climate change. On April 19, the Senate rejected the Udall amendment by a vote of 50-47 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 52). YES IS
THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
13. ATTACK ON THE CLEAN WATER RULESenator John Hoeven (R-ND) offered an amendment to H.R. 2028, the Further Continuing and Secu-rity Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prohibit the use of funds for implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers’ Clean Water Rule, which protects the small streams and wetlands that feed into the drinking water of 117 million people in the United States. On April 21, the Senate rejected the Hoeven amendment by a vote of 56-42 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 57). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 13
14. ATTACK ON ADVANCED VEHICLESSenator Dan Coats (R-IN) offered an amendment to H.R. 2028, the Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017, which would ban the use of funds for the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan program. The loan program has successfully promoted innovation in the market for low carbon vehicles, supporting early efforts by companies like Tesla Motors. On April 21, the Senate rejected the Coats amendment by a vote of 48-49 (Senate roll call vote 58). NO IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
15. WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAMSenator Harry Reid (D-NV) offered an amendment to H.R. 2028, the Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017, which would create a pilot program for water conservation in the Colorado River system. With climate change fueling droughts across the western United States, a new approach to water use in the Colorado basin is badly needed. On April 26, the Senate approved the Reid amendment by a vote of 73-23 (Senate roll call vote 62). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. H.R. 2028 was signed into law by President Obama on December 10.
16. MITIGATING IMPACTS ON FISH & WILDLIFE Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) offered an amendment to H.R. 2028, the Further Continuing and Secu-rity Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017, which would require the Secretary of the Army to use federal and state expertise to mitigate the fish and wildlife impacts of the Army Corps of Engineers’ projects. This amendment clarifies requirements in the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958 to ensure that federal agencies give full consideration to wildlife impact analyses from the Fish and Wildlife Service and state agencies. On May 11, the Senate rejected the Cardin amendment by a vote of 39-60 (Senate roll call vote 69). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
17. REVENUE SHARING FOR OFFSHORE DRILLINGSenator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) sponsored S. 3110, the American Energy and Conservation Act of 2016, which would expand revenue sharing from offshore drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf, which creates incentives for additional offshore drilling that damages our climate and coastal communities, businesses, and ecosystems. Offshore drilling inevitably leads to oil spills, which puts at risk coastal communities’ robust tourism and commercial and recreational fishing industries, as well as critically important wildlife, while impeding America’s transition to clean energy. Revenue sharing also siphons revenues away from the Treasury and directs them to a handful of states at a time when we are strug-gling to address our nation’s fiscal challenges. On November 17, the Senate rejected a motion to end debate and proceed to S. 3110 by a vote of 51-47 (60 votes were needed to end debate; Senate roll call vote 153). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.

2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 19
1. DELAYING THE RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL COURT CASESRepresentative Doug Collins (R-GA) sponsored H.R. 712, the Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act of 2015, which would weaken environmental protections by undermining the federal rulemaking process and citizen enforcement of federal laws. H.R. 712 prescribes a host of burden-some and sometimes ambiguous steps for courts and parties that would favor continued litigation over settlement. This bill would delay and obstruct the resolution of environmental protection cases before federal courts. On January 7, the House approved H.R. 712 by a vote of 244-173 (House roll call vote 12). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
2. MINING WASTE Representative Alexander Mooney (R-WV) sponsored H.R. 1644, the Supporting Transparent Regula-tory and Environmental Actions in Mining (STREAM) Act, a disastrous bill that would block pro-posed safeguards that aim to reduce the health and environmental impacts of destructive coal mining practices. H.R. 1644 would stop or at least seriously delay the finalization of the Department of Inte-rior’s proposed Stream Protection Rule, which will better protect mining communities whose drinking water is currently at risk of contamination from inappropriate dumping of toxic mining pollution. As one of the most damaging industrial activities in our nation, mountaintop removal mining has destroyed more than 2,000 miles of streams and over 500 mountains in Central Appalachia while also jeopardizing the health of nearby communities. The Stream Protection Rule will finally update federal rules that fall woefully short of preventing serious harm to the communities living near coal mining operations. On January 12, the House approved H.R. 1644 by a vote of 235-188 (House roll call vote 42). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
3. EXTREME ATTACK ON CLEAN WATER PROTECTIONS (CRA)Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) sponsored S.J. Res. 22, a Congressional Review Act “Resolution of Disap-proval,” which would void the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers’ Clean Water Rule that protects the small streams and wetlands that feed into the drinking water of 117 million people in this country. Not only would this obscure and radical legislative tool vacate the current rule, it would also prohibit the agencies from developing any “substantially similar” rule in the future, keeping the unworkable status quo in place. This could prevent the agencies from ever is-suing rules that establish Clean Water Act protections for the waters covered by the Clean Water Rule, leaving our streams, wetlands, lakes, and rivers vulnerable to pollution for generations to come. On January 13, the House approved S.J. Res. 22 by a vote of 253-166 (House roll call vote 45). NO IS THE
PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. S.J. Res. 22 was vetoed by President Obama on January 20.
4. FEDERAL CONTROL OVER FEDERAL WATERSRepresentative Don Beyer (D-VA) offered an amendment to H.R. 2406, the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act of 2015, which would strike the bill’s requirement that the Interior and Commerce secretaries consult with state fish and game agencies before restricting fishing in marine national parks and other federally managed waters. Marine national parks, marine sanctuaries, and other federally managed waters are managed for the benefit of all people in the United States and

should not be subject to veto power by state agencies. On February 26, the House rejected the Beyer amendment by a vote of 169-236 (House roll call vote 94). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. H.R. 2406 passed the House on February 26, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
5. ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGERepresentative Jared Huffman (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 2406, the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act of 2015, which would grant the highest level of protection—a wil-derness designation—for the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Following extensive scientific study and public input, the Fish and Wildlife Service released a Comprehensive Conservation Plan in 2015, which recommended that the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge should receive the highest level of protection to preserve the land’s unparalleled wild character. This amendment would ensure that this majestic landscape would remain untouched by industrialization and drilling operations, thus protecting a landscape that is home to large populations of caribou, polar bears and more than 135 species of migratory birds. On February 26, the House rejected the Huffman amendment by a vote of 176-227 (House roll call vote 99). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
6. UNDERMINING PUBLIC LANDS AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENTRepresentative Rob Wittman (R-VA) sponsored H.R. 2406, the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act of 2015, which contains harmful measures undermining the National Environmental Policy Act, the Wilderness Act, and other bedrock environmental laws. The bill includes language that could allow the use of motorized vehicles, road construction, and other forms of development within protected wilderness areas, and it blocks input from public stakeholders in National Wildlife Refuge management decisions. This legislation also includes provisions that would weaken the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate toxic lead in ammunition and fishing equipment. Additionally, this bill would undermine international commitments to combat ivory trafficking, thwart our ability to effectively manage marine resources, and cut the public out of management decisions impacting hundreds of millions of acres of public lands. On February 26, the House approved H.R. 2406 by a vote of 242-161 (House roll call vote 101). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no ac-tion on this legislation.
7. ATTACK ON CLEAN AIR PROTECTIONSRepresentative Keith Rothfus (R-PA) sponsored H.R. 3797, the Satisfying Energy Needs and Saving the Environment (SENSE) Act, which would weaken clean air protections that safeguard our air from coal refuse burned by power plants. The SENSE Act would weaken the Cross State Air Pollution Rule by replacing the state emissions reductions rules with federal rules that allow waste coal burning power plants to pollute in excess of current law, damaging public health in the surrounding areas and far downwind. H.R. 3797 would also weaken the Environmental Protection Agency’s Mercury and Air Toxics standards, which are successful safeguards that are designed to reduce the pollution associated with dangerous compounds like sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride, both of which increase the risk of asthma attacks and other serious health impacts, including premature deaths. On March 15, the House approved H.R. 3797 by a vote of 231-183 (House roll call vote 123). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRON-
MENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 21
8. PESTICIDES POLLUTIONRepresentative Bob Gibbs (R-OH) sponsored H.R. 897, the Zika Vector Control Act, which would un-dermine the Clean Water Act by preventing the Environmental Protection Agency from protecting wa-terways from the direct application of pesticides that can contaminate drinking water, harm aquatic species, and negatively impact the food chain. This bill would render ineffective the Clean Water Act pesticide general permit, which took effect in 2011 and laid out commonsense practices for applying pesticides directly to waterways. Additionally, the permit already allows for emergency spraying to combat vector-borne diseases such as Zika. On May 17, the House rejected H.R. 897 under suspension of the rules by a vote of 262-159 (A 2/3 vote was needed for passage; House roll call vote 199). NO IS
THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. H.R. 897 passed the House on May 24.
9. FOSSIL ENERGY BILLSenator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) sponsored S. 2012, the Senate’s Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, which the House amended with a bill that would promote devastating logging projects, curtail National Environmental Policy Act reviews as well as state, local, and tribal authority over projects on their own lands, and allow pipelines to be built on National Park land without the necessary en-vironmental reviews. The House version of S. 2012 locks in dirty fossil energy for decades to come at a time when we should be investing in cleaner, cheaper alternatives. On May 25, the House passed S. 2012 by a vote of 241-178 (House roll call vote 250). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. S. 2012 moved to conference committee, but did not become law.
10. NATIONAL OCEAN POLICYRepresentative Sam Farr (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5055, the Energy and Water Develop-ment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would have struck a damaging policy rider that prohibited funds from being used to further implement marine planning efforts and the ecosystem-based management components of the National Ocean Policy. The National Ocean Policy directs government agencies with differing mandates to work collaboratively to improve ocean health and also ensures that all competing interests—including conservationists, fishermen, scientists, ship-ping companies, port managers, energy developers, and those who live and work in ocean communi-ties—have a voice in creating solutions for the many problems facing our oceans. On May 25, the House rejected the Farr amendment by a vote of 189-228 (House roll call vote 253). YES IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
11. LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND (LWCF)Representative Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) sponsored a Motion to Instruct Conferees who were named to the House and Senate conference committee for S. 2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015. This non-binding resolution instructed conferees to accept Section 5002 of the Energy Policy and Mod-ernization Act—a permanent authorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) with a minimum of 40 percent of appropriated funds dedicated to state projects and 40 percent dedicated to federal projects—for inclusion in the final conference report. Section 5002 also requires federal agen-cies to take into account management efficiencies, cost savings, urgency of proposed acquisitions, and
22 scorecard.lcv.org | 2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV
other factors when choosing projects and dedicates 1.5 percent of the fund to increasing sportsmen’s access on public lands. LWCF is America’s premier conservation program and has helped increase park access and protect public lands in nearly every county in the nation for over 50 years. On May 25, the House rejected the Motion to Instruct Conferees by a vote of 205-212 (House roll call vote 264). YES IS
THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. S. 2012 did not become law.
12. FRACKING CLEAN AIR LOOPHOLERepresentative Jared Polis (D-CO) offered an amendment to H.R. 4775, the Ozone Standards Imple-mentation Act of 2016, which would close loopholes in the Clean Air Act that allow the oil and gas industry to release dangerous amounts of air pollution. Other industries are required to limit their releases of toxic air pollutants like volatile organic compounds and smog-inducing nitrogen oxides, but oil and gas companies lobbied for and won an exemption that allows them to continue endanger-ing public health. The amendment also adds hydrogen sulfide, a harmful, potentially fatal pollutant mainly released during oil and gas extraction, to the Clean Air Act’s list of hazardous pollutants. On June 8, the House rejected the Polis amendment 160-251 (House roll call vote 279). YES IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
13. ATTACK ON THE CLEAN AIR ACT AND SMOG PROTECTIONSRepresentative Pete Olson (R-TX) sponsored H.R. 4775, the Ozone Standards Implementation Act of 2016, which would jeopardize the health of people in the United States by undermining the Envi-ronmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recently-updated standards for ozone pollution, also known as smog. This legislation would delay the implementation of these vital health protections by at least ten years and double the Clean Air Act’s current five-year review periods for updating all national air qual-ity standards, thereby allowing unhealthy air to persist even longer. H.R. 4775 would also eviscerate a central pillar of the Clean Air Act that requires the EPA to rely solely on the best-available health science when setting air quality standards, forcing the agency to consider factors unrelated to health, like technical feasibility, in the initial standard setting process. On June 8, the House passed H.R. 4775 by a vote of 234-177 (House roll call vote 282). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
14. MILITARY RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGERepresentative Ken Buck (R-CO) offered an amendment to H.R. 5293, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prohibit the U.S. military from continuing to research and pre-pare for the effects climate change will have on military installations. On June 16, the House approved the Buck amendment by a vote of 216-205 (House roll call vote 314). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT
VOTE. H.R. 5293 failed cloture in the Senate on September 6.
15. METHANE POLLUTION FROM DRILLING ON PUBLIC LANDSRepresentative Jared Huffman (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would remove a provi-sion preventing the Bureau of Land Management from finalizing its Methane and Waste Prevention Rule. This important rule will reduce dangerous methane pollution, a climate super-pollutant that is
2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 23
vented, flared, and leaked from oil and gas industry operations on our public lands. Reducing natural gas waste from public lands will not only benefit the climate, but it will also reduce toxic air pollutants that are jeopardizing the health of nearby communities and ensure taxpayers receive a fair return on their resources. On July 12, the House rejected the Huffman amendment by a vote of 184-240 (House roll call vote 422). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
16. PROTECTING OUR FORESTSRepresentative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would strike the harmful language that wholly exempt a broad range of potentially damaging logging activities in our National Forest System from public accountability and other National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. Damaging our national forest resources harms both the public and the economic benefits that our federal forests provide for all people in this country, including clean drinking water, outstanding recreational oppor-tunities, and fish and wildlife habitat, which also supports more jobs and economic output than other activities in the National Forest System. On July 12, the House rejected the Dingell amendment by a vote of 170-256 (House roll call vote 428). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
17. LEAD POISONING SAFEGUARDSRepresentative Matt Cartwright (D-PA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would strike a rider from the bill that delayed the Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Paint-ing Program, which requires the use of safe practices and actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning in homes and elsewhere. On July 12, the House rejected the Cartwright amendment by a vote of 195-231 (House roll call vote 429). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
18. CARBON POLLUTIONOn behalf of House Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NJ), Con-gressman Scott Peters (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would have struck damaging language in the bill that blocked implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan, including termination of any assistance to states that have asked for help developing sensible state policies. The Clean Power Plan establishes the first national carbon pollution limits for new and existing power plants and is the single biggest step our country has ever taken to tackle climate change. Communities across the United States are already suffering from the devastating impacts of climate change, such as more frequent and severe weather events like droughts, wildfires, floods, and storms, and unchecked climate change also threatens public health. On July 12, the House rejected the Pallone amendment by a vote of 182-244 (House roll call vote 431). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
24 scorecard.lcv.org | 2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV
19. RECOGNIZING THE COST OF CLIMATE CHANGERepresentative Scott Peters (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would strike a provision in the bill that would recklessly eliminate any consideration of the Social Cost of Carbon, which is an analysis of the real economic impacts, positive or negative, of the carbon pollution of a project or proposed rule. The Social Cost of Carbon is a critical tool that helps the public and decision makers understand the true benefits and costs of a project and the possible ways to mitigate negative impacts. Requiring an envi-ronmental review that prohibits the consideration of climate impacts institutionalizes climate denial into the federal permitting process and forces ill-informed decisions, putting critical infrastructure, taxpayer dollars, and local communities’ health at risk. On July 12, the House rejected the Peters amendment by a vote of 185-241 (House roll call vote 432). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
20. PROTECTING FARMWORKERS FROM DANGEROUS PESTICIDESRepresentative Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the In-terior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would strike a rider in the bill preventing the Environmental Protection Agency from enforcing the recently updated Agricultural Worker Protection Standard. This important set of revisions will finally give farmworkers the same protections as workers in other industries and better protect them from pesticide poisoning while en-suring their right to a designated representative to request information. The health of farmworkers, their families, and their communities are disproportionately jeopardized and impacted by toxic pesti-cides, and these critical new safeguards are long overdue. On July 13, the House rejected the Grijalva amendment by a vote of 177-249 (House roll call vote 433). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
21. METHANE POLLUTION SAFEGUARDSRepresentative Jared Polis (D-CO) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Inte-rior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would strike a rider in the underlying bill that prevents the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from implementing its re-cently finalized methane pollution standards, the first-ever limits on methane pollution from new and modified sources in the oil and gas industry. The EPA’s methane standard for new and modified sources requires low-cost, proven safeguards that are critical to reducing methane’s contributions to climate change, with climate benefits of $170 million by 2025, while also curbing toxic air pollutants that con-tribute to smog and jeopardize the health of nearby communities. On July 13, the House rejected the Polis amendment by a vote of 187-240 (House roll call vote 434). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
22. CALIFORNIA WATER RESOURCESRepresentative Jerry McNerney (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would remove ideologi-cal riders that would weaken protections for fish, birds, and other wildlife in California’s Bay-Delta. These provisions would undermine the Endangered Species Act, jeopardizing populations of salmon
2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 25
and other local fisheries, they would threaten the habitat of millions of birds by undermining the water rights of wildlife refuges, and they would put at risk thousands of jobs that rely on a healthy Bay-Del-ta. The rider would also have ramifications across other western states, including reducing public input and review of water projects, lowering funding for the Bureau of Reclamation, and limiting states’ and the federal government’s ability to manage and protect water resources. These dangerous provisions prioritize the interests of large agribusinesses and use California’s drought as an excuse to weaken federal and state environmental laws. On July 13, the House rejected the McNerney amendment by a vote of 181-248 (House roll call vote 436). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
23. NATIONAL MONUMENTSRepresentative Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environ-ment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would have struck damaging anti-parks language in the bill that prohibited the president from designating national monuments on over 160 million acres of our public lands. The Antiquities Act provided initial protections for nearly half of America’s national parks—including the Grand Canyon, Acadia, Muir Woods, and Olympic National Parks—and this amendment ensures that more special places can be protected for future generations. On July 13, the House rejected the Grijalva amendment by a vote of 202-225 (House roll call vote 437). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
24. OFFSHORE DRILLING IN THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICORepresentative Gwen Graham (D-FL) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prohibit the use of funds for the research, investigation, or study of offshore drilling in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, an area currently off-limits to drilling that attracts millions of tourists each year and is also home to many species of wildlife. On July 13, the House rejected the Graham amendment by a vote of 185-243 (House roll call vote 447). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
25. ATTACK ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACTRepresentative Doug Lamborn (R-CO) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would bar the listing, under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), of any species that has not undergone a periodic five-year review, an attack that would dramatically undermine protections for endangered species. The relevant agencies are often unable to complete these reviews on time due to lack of funding or because of com-peting priorities. This amendment would leave many species in a state of limbo, because they would keep their ESA status, but all federal funding for recovery efforts, law enforcement efforts, and consul-tations would be prohibited. On July 13, the House approved the Lamborn amendment by a vote of 238-190 (House roll call vote 449). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
26 scorecard.lcv.org | 2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV
26. GRAY WOLVESRepresentative Dan Newhouse (R-WA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prohibit the list-ing of the Gray Wolf as endangered in the lower 48 states. This amendment would jeopardize the tenuous recovery of a keystone predator, with negative consequences at every level of the ecosystem. On July 13, the House approved the Newhouse amendment by a vote of 223-201 (House roll call vote 452). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
27. EPA LAW ENFORCEMENTRepresentative Gary Palmer (R-AL) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Inte-rior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prohibit the use of funds for the Environmental Protection Agency’s law enforcement and criminal investigations divi-sion, a move that would make it harder to hold polluters accountable for committing environmental crimes. On July 13, the House rejected the Palmer amendment by a vote of 195-223 (House roll call vote 453). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
28. ATTACK ON ENVIRONMENTAL COURT ACCESSRepresentative Jason Smith (R-MO) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prohibit funds from being used to pay legal fees for settlements in Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, or Endangered Species Act cases. Congress long ago recognized that the government needs citizens to be partners in enforcing America’s laws, including environmental protection laws, and this principle is enshrined in numerous federal laws that provide reasonable fee recovery for successful plaintiffs. This amendment would alter this principle by prohibiting payment of citizens’ legal fees when parties avoid costly litigation by agreeing to a settlement. Failing to pay citizens’ legal fees would make it harder for all but the wealthiest Americans and corporations to hold violators of America’s environmental laws ac-countable through legal channels. On July 13, the House approved the Smith amendment by a vote of 226-202. (House roll call vote 459). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
29. ARCTIC OCEAN DRILLINGRepresentative Don Young (R-AK) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would block the removal of three proposed Arctic Ocean lease sales that were contained in the federal government’s draft 2017-2022 offshore drilling leasing plan. The Arctic Ocean is ecologically rich, fragile, unforgiving, and remote. Furthermore, the region lacks the infrastructure to contain or clean up an oil spill. This amendment, by attempting to keep portions of the Arctic Ocean open for leasing, would put this important place at risk of an oil spill and make climate change worse. On July 13, the House approved the Young amendment by a vote of 242-185 (House roll call vote 461). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 27
30. MARINE NATIONAL MONUMENTSRepresentative Lee Zeldin (R-NY) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would block any president from permanently protecting new marine national monuments anywhere in the United States’ Exclusive Economic Zone. This overly broad provision would block the potential of future protections for over 4.5 million square miles of U.S. waters, hamstringing our country’s future contributions to global ocean conservation. On July 13, the House approved the Zeldin amendment by a vote of 225-202 (House roll call vote 462). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
31. ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT RIDERSRepresentative Don Beyer (D-VA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would have removed three damaging policy riders in the bill. These riders would undermine Endangered Species Act protections for the gray wolf, the greater sage-grouse, and the lesser prairie-chicken. This amendment would also block language in the bill that undermines a historic conservation agreement for the greater sage-grouse and would effec-tively give states control over 60 million acres of America’s shared public lands. On July 13, the House rejected the Beyer amendment by a vote of 193-235 (House roll call vote 463). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRON-
MENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
32. BLOCKING PROTECTIONS FOR CLEAN WATERRepresentative Don Beyer (D-VA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Inte-rior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would strike four anti-clean water provisions in the underlying bill. These riders attack fundamental pollution safeguards for our waterways, including blocking the Department of the Interior’s final Stream Protection Rule, which will better protect the drinking water of communities living in the shadows of coal mining operations, preventing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from updating the definition of “fill material” under the Clean Water Act, which would prevent mountaintop mining operators from filling valley streams with mining waste, expanding exemptions under the Clean Water Act that would allow more dumping of pollution into waterways, and blocking the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers’ Clean Water Rule, which protects the small streams and wetlands that feed into the drinking water of one in three people in the United States. On July 14, the House rejected the Beyer amendment by a vote of 178-246 (House roll call vote 468). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
33. CLEAN ENERGY & PUBLIC LANDSRepresentative Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prohibit using funds in contravention of a Department of Interior order calling for the development of clean energy on public lands. Public lands represent a significant resource for wind and solar development, which we must expand to fight climate change. On July 14, the House rejected the Lowenthal amendment
28 scorecard.lcv.org | 2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV
by a vote of 192-233 (House roll call vote 471). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
34. SAGE GROUSE CONSERVATIONRepresentative Niki Tsongas (D-MA) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prohibit the Bu-reau of Land Management’s management plans from taking effect if they limit the bureau’s ability to meet multiple use obligations, a measure that would protect plans to conserve the threatened sage grouse’s habitat across the western United States. On July 14, the House rejected the Tsongas amend-ment by a vote of 184-241 (House roll call vote 474). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The House passed H.R. 5538 on July 14, but the Senate took no action on this legislation.
35. ANTI-ENVIRONMENTAL SPENDING BILLHouse Interior Appropriations Subcommittee Chair Ken Calvert (R-CA) sponsored H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, a spending bill that ought to be about dollars and cents, and yet it contained more than 30 anti-environmental policy riders. The riders included attacks on the federal government’s ability to set commonsense limits on carbon pollution from power plants, protect the drinking water of one in three people in the United States, and create new parks. Besides containing ideological, poison-pill riders that simply have no place in a spending bill, this legislation significantly slashed funding for key environmental programs and agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Land and Water Conservation Fund. On July 14, the House approved H.R. 5538 by a vote of 231-196 (House roll call vote 477). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRON-
MENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
36. DELAYING SAFEGUARDS Representative Tom Marino (R-PA) sponsored H.R. 3438, the Require Evaluation before Implement-ing Executive Wishlists (REVIEW) Act of 2016, which would delay all major regulations from taking effect until all litigation is resolved. This radical attack on federal safeguards would allow frivolous litigation to halt the implementation of critical safeguards for clean air, clean water, public health, and more. On September 21, the House approved H.R. 3438 by a vote of 244-180 (House roll call vote 535). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
37. DISASTER FUNDING FOR FLINT, MICHIGANRepresentative Dan Kildee (D-MI) offered an amendment to H.R. 5303, the Water Resources Develop-ment Act of 2016, designed to provide federal financial assistance to the city of Flint, Michigan, which suffered a public health crisis after decisions to switch the city’s drinking water supply caused toxic lead to leach from pipes into the water. For over two years, Flint residents have lacked access to clean water and have been waiting for government aid to help deal with the impacts of lead poisoning, par-ticularly for the city’s over 8,000 children who may experience serious and permanent health problems such as behavioral and neurological disorders. The Kildee amendment would authorize $170 million in funding to repair or replace water infrastructure in Flint and would assist the city in recovering from
2016 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 29
this crisis. On September 28, the House passed the Kildee amendment by a vote of 284-141-1 (House roll call vote 570). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Kildee amendment providing the city of Flint with $170 million in funding to address their public health crisis was ultimately included in the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (WIIN), which was signed into law by President Obama on December 16.
38. ATTACK ON PUBLIC PROTECTIONSRepresentative Darrell Issa (R-CA) sponsored H.R. 5982, the Midnight Rules Relief Act of 2016, which would threaten public protections affecting the environment, public health, and safety that are often years, if not decades, in the making. This bill would amend the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to allow for an en bloc disapproval of all regulations finalized near the end of presidential terms. In ad-dition to nullifying standards through a rushed and non-transparent process, this extreme legislation would prohibit similar standards from being developed in the future. On November 17, the House passed H.R. 5982 by a vote of 240-179 (House roll call vote 585). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
