The House Passes Legislation Supporting Outdoors
by: Jason Sealock
The House of Representatives, in a bipartisan vote, passed the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act, SHARE Act (H.R. 3590). While in the Senate, Sens. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) introduced the Bipartisan Sportsmen’s Act of 2014 (S. 1996). Both packages support increased access for recreational opportunities across the nation as well as the protection of our fishing and shooting heritage.
“The bipartisan vote in the House and bipartisan set of sponsors in the Senate highlight how conservation issues that impact sportsmen and women can cut through partisan politics,” said American Sportfishing Association (ASA) Vice President Gordon Robertson.
