On May 17, Congressman Kevin McCarthy, Representative of California’s 20th Congressional District and Speaker of the House, commended the House Committee on Natural Resources for favorably reporting H.R. 2989, the bipartisan Save Our Sequoias (SOS) Act, out of committee by voice vote.
The SOS Act currently has over 50 co-sponsors.
McCarthy released the following statement:
“Today is an important day. Not only is the Save Our Sequoias Act one step closer to becoming law, but today’s approval further showcases the broad bipartisan support this bill has received since its introduction. I am grateful to Chairman Westerman and Congressman McClintock, both primary cosponsors of this legislation, for shepherding the SOS Act through Committee. I am also thankful to the bill's co-sponsors, including Congressman Scott Peters who is the co-lead on this bill, for their continued support. I look forward to working with them and my colleagues to move the SOS Act through the House and ultimately enact it into law so that our Giant Sequoias are protected for generations to come.”
