Worked with natural resource groups in prepartion for possible sage grouse listing. Also, supported HR 4315, The Endangered Species Transparency and Reasonableness Act with a bipartisan vote of 233-190. This legislation focuses on sensible and specific updates to the ESA in the areas of data transparency and species recovery All four bills tackle transparency and litigation issues as it relates to the Endangered Species Act. HR 4315 incorporates all four stand-alone bills into one legislative package. Summaries of all four bills, now HR 4315, are below. H.R. 4315, The 21st Century Endangered Species Transparency Act, would require data used by federal agencies for ESA listing decisions to be made publicly available and accessible through the Internet. The bill would allow the American people to actually see what science and data are being used to make key listing decisions. H.R. 4316, The Endangered Species Recovery Transparency Act, would require the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to track, report to Congress, and make available online: 1) funds expended to respond to ESA lawsuits; 2) the number of employees dedicated to litigation; and 3) attorney fees awarded in the course of ESA litigation and settlement agreements. H.R. 4317, The State, Tribal, and Local Species Transparency and Recovery Act, would require the federal government to disclose to affected states all data used prior to any ESA listing decisions and require that the best available scientific and commercial data used by the federal government include data provided by affected states, tribes, and local governments. H.R. 4318, The Endangered Species Litigation Reasonableness Act, would prioritize resources towards species protection by placing reasonable caps on attorney fees and making the ESA consistent with another federal law. The Equal Access to Justice Act limits the hourly rate for prevailing attorney fees to $125 per hour. However, no such fee cap currently exists under the ESA, and attorneys have often been awarded huge sums of taxpayer-funded money. This bill would put in place the same $125 per hour cap on attorney fees for suits filed under the ESA that currently exist under the Equal Access to Justice Act.
