H.R. 763 - The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Lobbied in support of this legislation. This legislation would establish a gradually increasing fee on the CO2-e content of fossil fuels and fluorinated gases, returning 100% of the revenue back to households as a monthly dividend. It would also establish a border adjustment to minimize leakage of carbon emissions to other countries, and pauses some existing EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, pending expected performance of the fee.

H.R. 763 - The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Lobbied in support of this legislation. This legislation would establish a gradually increasing fee on the CO2-e content of fossil fuels and fluorinated gases, returning 100% of the revenue back to households as a monthly dividend. It would also establish a border adjustment to minimize leakage of carbon emissions to other countries, and pauses some existing EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, pending expected performance of the fee. H.R. 1716 and S. 778 - Coastal Communities Ocean Acidification Act of 2019. In support. This bill amends the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act of 2009. It would require an update to a report at least once every 7 years that assesses the socio-economic impacts of ocean acidification on coastal communities. Also requires the Secretary of Commerce and NOAA to submit a report to Congress 180 days after the bill passes detailing the efforts of NOAA to support state and local community vulnerability assessments and strategic research planning. H.R. 2156 and S. 1232 - Revitalizing the Economy of Coal Communities by Leveraging Local Activities and Investing More (RECLAIM) Act of 2019. In support. This bill amends the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to make specified funds from the Abandoned Mine Land fund available to the Department of the Interior for distribution to states and Indian tribes to promote economic revitalization, diversification, and development in economically distressed communities through the reclamation and restoration of land and water resources adversely affected by coal mining carried out before August 3, 1977. Projects shall be located in a community affected by a recent decline in mining. S. 2429 and H.R.4160 - Restoring Resilient Reefs Act of 2019 - In support. This bill would revive and modernize the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000, fifteen years after its expiration. It would institute 5-year authorization with an explicit focus on restoration activities where natural disasters and human activities have degraded reef ecosystems.

Issues related to ocean conservation, including BLUE GLOBE ACT, (S. 933;H.R. 3548), Ocean Acidification Innovation Act (H.R.1921), Save Our Seas 2.0 Act (S.2372; S. 2260; S. 1982; S. 2364; HR 3969), Restoring Resilient Reefs Act of 2019 (HR 4160; S. 2429) and NOAA oversight.
