The House Natural Resources Committee this week will debate a series of public lands bills and have a hearing on energy opportunities in Alaska.
On Thursday, the Federal Lands Subcommittee, led by Reps. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) and Joe Neguse (D-Colo.), will weigh legislation that would allow the military to keep using certain public land for training.
The “Public Lands Military Readiness Act,” H.R. 5131, from Rep. Nick Begich (R-Alaska), would extend several land withdrawals for 25 years. Those lands are located in Alaska, California and New Mexico.
