Waters of the U.S. Vote

URGE YOUR U.S. HOUSE MEMBER TO VOTE "YES" ON WATERS OF THE U.S. BILL

Tomorrow, the U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on the Regulatory Integrity Protection Act of 2015 (H.R. 1732). Please urge your House Members to vote "yes" on the measure.   H.R. 1732 would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to withdraw the proposed "waters of the U.S." rule within 30 days and restart the rule-making process. The bill would require the agencies to consult and collaborate with state and local governments on the "Waters of the U.S." rule development process.  The agencies would also be required to document the interactions, including those areas where consensus was reached and not reached, and submit a final report to Congress. To view NACo's letter in support of H.R. 1732, click here.   NACo asks counties to urge your House Representatives to vote "yes" on H.R. 1732.
