The Senate approved two more bills from the Energy and Natural Resources Committee on Thursday as lawmakers push for more legislation from that panel to reach the president’s desk.
The chamber approved S. 2033, the “Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act,” from Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), which would require a study on federal rules and regulations that may hamper wildfire mitigation across federal and nonfederal lands.
The Senate passed the legislation by unanimous consent. The House recently approved its own version, H.R. 3922, the “Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act,” from Reps. Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) and Young Kim (R-Calif.). It’s unclear what chamber’s version will prevail.
Separately, the Senate passed S. 1377, the “Theodore Roosevelt National Park Wild Horses Protection Act,” from Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), which would require the Interior Department to maintain a genetically diverse herd of horses in that park.
