The nonprofit League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has
published a National Environmental Scorecard every
Congress since 1970, the year it was founded by leaders of
the environmental movement following the first Earth Day.
LCV works to turn environmental values into national, state and local
priorities.
This edition of the National Environmental Scorecard provides objec-
tive, factual information about the most important environmental legis-
lation considered and the corresponding voting records of all members
of the first session of the 114th Congress. This Scorecard represents the
consensus of experts from about 20 respected environmental and con-
servation organizations who selected the key votes on which members of
Congress should be scored. LCV scores votes on the most important issues
of the year, including energy, climate change, public health, public lands
and wildlife conservation, and spending for environmental programs. The
votes included in this Scorecard presented members of Congress with a
real choice and help distinguish which legislators are working for environ-
mental protection. Except in rare circumstances, the Scorecard excludes
consensus action on the environment and issues on which no recorded
votes occurred.
Dedicated environmentalists and national leaders volunteered their
time to identify and research crucial votes. We extend special thanks to
our Board of Directors, Issues & Accountability Committee, and Score-
card Advisory Committee for their valuable input.

2005 OVERVIEW 2015 OVERVIEW
Without a doubt, 2015 was a historic year for the environment and public health. To start with the
good news—and there is a lot of it—President Obama demonstrated incredible leadership on many
fronts, especially when it came to confronting the climate crisis. In August, he finalized the Clean Pow-
er Plan to cut carbon pollution from power plants—the single largest step our nation has ever taken
to address climate change. In September, he welcomed Pope Francis to Washington to deliver powerful
remarks on the moral imperative to act on climate change. In November, after Secretary of State John
Kerry found that the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline was not in our country’s national interest, Presi-
dent Obama rejected this dirty and dangerous pipeline once and for all. In December, thanks in large
part to the president’s commitment to addressing the climate crisis at home and abroad, nearly 200
countries came together in Paris to forge a truly game-changing international climate change agree-
ment. President Obama also finalized the Clean Water Rule to protect the drinking water that one in
three Americans rely on, designated six national monuments including California’s Berryessa Snow
Mountain and Nevada’s Basin and Range, finalized management plans that lay the groundwork for
protecting sagebrush habitat in eleven western states, began to address methane pollution from the oil
and gas sector and coal-mining on public lands, cancelled Arctic Ocean lease sales following Shell’s
abandonment of its drilling efforts, and so much more.
What makes all of this administrative progress not
just so impressive but also so necessary is that President
Obama accomplished it while simultaneously battling
the most anti-environmental Congress in our nation’s
history. While the extreme Republican leadership in the
U.S. House of Representatives has already been waging
war on the environment and public health for years, the
U.S. Senate, led by then-Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-
NV), had served as a backstop against the vast majority
of these attacks and prevented them from ever reaching
the president’s desk. But as is often said, elections have
consequences, and that was thrown into sharp relief when
control of the Senate shifted to climate change denier
Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Majority Leader McConnell wasted no time getting to
work on behalf of his polluter allies, making the Senate’s
very first order of business a bill to approve the Keystone
XL pipeline. Choosing to start the new Congress with this
harmful legislation was unfortunate; however, the debate
and amendments offered on the bill provided an opportu-
nity for senators to take a stand on climate change, clean
energy, clean water, public lands, wildlife and other im-
portant environmental issues. In fact, for only the second
time in LCV history, we issued a Special Edition Scorecard
4 scorecard.lcv.org | 2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV
for a single piece of legislation in February of 2015 as soon
as the Senate completed debate on the bill.
As it turned out, the Keystone debate was just the
opening salvo in Leader McConnell’s war on the environ-
ment, and over the course of the year the Senate cast an as-
tounding number of votes on the environment and public
health. Indeed, the 2015 National Environmental Score-
card includes 25 Senate votes, the second highest number
of Senate votes ever included (the record was 26 votes in
1977) and significantly more Senate votes than are typi-
cally included in the Scorecard, reflecting the breadth and
depth of attacks both on our cornerstone environmental
protections and on the Obama administration’s signifi-
cant progress.
While the Senate portion of the 2015 Scorecard is night
and day from the Senate Scorecards of the last several
years, the House portion looked all too similar to the
Scorecards of the last few years. For the fourth time in five
years, the House included an astounding 35 votes—once
again earning the dubious distinction of a tie for the larg-
est number of House votes ever included.
Both chambers seemingly left no environmental issue
untouched in 2015. Attacks on our cornerstone environ-
mental laws included the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water
Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endan-
gered Species Act, and the Antiquities Act. And despite
the fact that 2014 and 2015 were the two hottest years
on record and included a wave of climate-change-fueled
extreme weather events—including devastating droughts
in California, forest fires across the West, and toxic algae
blooms—far too many members of Congress continue to
deny the basic science of climate change and used every
legislative trick in the book to try to block the Clean Pow-
er Plan and other climate progress. There were also votes
to dramatically increase fossil fuel production at a time
when it is clearer than ever that we need to keep dirty fu-
els in the ground and under the ocean and accelerate our
transition to clean energy.
Fortunately, in virtually every instance, our allies in
Congress were able to block these nefarious bills and
amendments except for a couple of Congressional Re-
view Act resolutions of disapproval—an extreme and
rarely-utilized procedural maneuver—that only required
a simple majority vote in the Senate and thus passed the
Congress and were vetoed by President Obama. Not only
did environmental champions in Congress block an as-
tonishing array of attacks, they also spoke out more force-
fully than ever—whether on the House and Senate floor,
in their districts and states, or in the press—about the ur-
gent need to protect the environment and act on climate.
While there was very little actual legislating over the
course of the year, one exception was the year-end bud-
get and tax package, which was a real mixed bag for the
environment. LCV strongly opposed lifting the crude oil
export ban—a massive handout to Big Oil that incentiv-
izes drilling—but the package also included badly-needed
multi-year extensions of clean energy tax credits and a
short-term reauthorization of America’s best parks pro-
gram, the Land and Water Conservation Fund. As part
of the deal, more than 100 extreme anti-environmental
riders were also kept out of the bill.
As we begin 2016, the stakes have never been higher
when it comes to protecting the environment and public
health, but the opportunities have never been greater. We
commend the Obama administration and our allies in
Congress and will double down on our work with them
to ensure that the United States continues to lead the way
when it comes to combating the climate crisis, transition-
ing to a clean energy economy, and protecting our air, wa-
ter, lands, and wildlife. Onward!

2015 SENATE VOTE DESCRIPTIONS
1. LIMITING ACCESS TO THE COURTSSenator Mike Lee (R-UT) offered an amendment to S. 1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would have a chilling effect on citizen enforcement of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), one of American’s most effective and important environmental laws that serves as a safety net for wildlife, fish and plants on the brink of extinction. By subjecting ESA lawsuits to the Equal Access to Justice Act’s below-market cap on legal fees, this amendment would make it more difficult for citizens from across the po-litical spectrum to obtain counsel and challenge illegal government actions. On January 21, the Senate rejected the Lee amendment by a vote of 54-45 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 7). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
2. ATTACK ON CLEAN AIR PROTECTIONSSenator Pat Toomey (R-PA) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would exempt power plant units that burn “coal refuse” or waste from complying with certain clean air and public health protections required under the Environmental Protection Agency’s Cross State Air Pollu-tion Rule and the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. Communities living downwind from these plants would suffer negative health consequences, ranging from asthma attacks to premature deaths, were these clean air exemptions to become law. On January 21, the Senate rejected the Toomey amendment by a vote of 54-45 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 9). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRON-
MENT VOTE.
3. CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCESenator Brian Schatz (D-HI) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which ex-presses the sense of Congress that climate change is real and that man-made pollution is a significant contributor to climate change. 2014 and 2015 were the two hottest years on record, and this amend-ment references the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and other scientific institutions. On January 21, the Senate rejected the Schatz amendment by a vote of 50-49 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 12). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL VOTE.
4. PRIORITIZING DRILLING ON PUBLIC LANDSSenator Mike Lee (R-UT) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would expedite the applications to drill on America’s public lands and would limit the amount of public in-put in the decision-making process. Oil and gas companies now have more access to America’s public lands than they currently use and it makes no sense to limit public engagement. On January 22, the Senate rejected the Lee amendment by a vote of 51-47 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 17). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
5. FORCING TAR SANDS POLLUTERS TO PAY FOR SPILLSSenator Ron Wyden (D-OR) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would close a tax code loophole that exempts tar sands producers from paying into the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. Without this fix, taxpayers are on the hook to pay for tar sands spill clean-ups like the ongoing $1.2 billion effort in Kalamazoo, Michigan. On January 22, the Senate rejected the Wyden
2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 11
amendment by a vote of 50-47 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 19). YES IS THE
PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
6. INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE ACTIONSenator Roy Blunt (R-MO) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which un-dermines the United States’ ability to encourage other countries to address climate change and would be a significant setback in the global fight against climate change. The Blunt amendment seeks to undermine the November 2014 U.S.-China announcement that demonstrated both countries’ commit-ment to tackling this challenge and builds momentum toward a global solution to the climate crisis. On January 22, the Senate rejected the Blunt amendment by a vote of 51-46 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 20). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
7. LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) EXPORTSSenator Ted Cruz (R-TX) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would undermine the Department of Energy’s role in approving applications to export liquefied natural gas (LNG). The Cruz amendment interferes with the department’s ability to consider LNG exports’ wide range of potential impacts, including negative impacts on American consumers, health, and the envi-ronment. On January 28, the Senate rejected the Cruz amendment by a vote of 53-45 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 34). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
8. PRAIRIE CHICKEN PROTECTIONSSenator Jerry Moran (R-KS) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would delist the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The Moran amendment subverts the science-based process the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses to determine the population viability of various species and removes protections deemed necessary for the prairie chicken’s survival. On January 28, the Senate rejected the Moran amendment by a vote of 54-44 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 35). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
9. NATIONAL MONUMENTSSenator Steve Daines (R-MT) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would express the sense of Congress that national monument designations on federal lands should require approval by the governor and state legislature. Although non-binding, this amendment under-mines the intent of the Antiquities Act of 1906, a law that 16 presidents of both parties have used to move swiftly in the face of threats and protect some of America’s most treasured places like the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty. On January 28, the Senate rejected the Daines amendment by a vote of 50-47 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 37). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
10. CLEAN ENERGY TAX CREDITSSenator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would express the sense of Congress that the Production Tax Credit should be renewed for five years. This tax incentive expired at the end of 2014 and is essential to the continued expansion of renewable
12 scorecard.lcv.org | 2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV
energy sources like wind, and would create jobs, reduce pollution, and increase our energy indepen-dence. On January 28, the Senate rejected the Heitkamp amendment by a vote of 47-51 (Senate roll call vote 40). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. A five year extension and phase down of the Production Tax Credit was included in H.R. 2029, the FY16 spending deal, which President Obama signed into law on December 18.
11. FRACKING DRINKING WATER LOOPHOLESenator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would close the “Halliburton Loophole,” a provision in the 2005 Energy Policy Act that exempted hydraulic fracturing (fracking) from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Gillibrand amendment is an important first step in ensuring the fracking process is subject to all of our major environmental laws, in order to protect our health, communities, and environment. On January 28, the Senate rejected the Gillibrand amendment by a vote of 35-63 (Senate roll call vote 41). YES IS THE
PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
12. LAND & WATER CONSERVATION FUND (LWCF)Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), America’s premier conservation program whose authorization expired on September 30, 2015. LWCF has been a 50-year conservation success story, improving open space and outdoor recreation opportunities for all Americans. The Burr amendment would also provide funds to increase access to public lands that may otherwise be inac-cessible. On January 29, the Senate rejected the Burr amendment by a vote of 59-39 (60 votes were needed for passage; Senate roll call vote 43). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. A three year extension of the Land and Water Conservation Fund was included in H.R. 2029, the FY16 spending deal, which President Obama signed into law on December 18.
13. RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY STANDARD (RES)Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) offered an amendment to S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would set a goal for the nation to get 25 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025. This policy builds on the proven success states have seen in setting similar policies and would help the United States lead in the global clean energy economy. A strong national renewable electricity standard would create jobs, protect consumers, and reduce pollution. On January 29, the Senate rejected the Udall amendment by a vote of 45-53 (Senate roll call vote 44). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
14 & 15. KEYSTONE XL TAR SANDS PIPELINE (KXL) & VETO OVERRIDESenator John Hoeven (R-ND) sponsored S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would automatically approve this dangerous pipeline, transporting the world’s dirtiest oil through the American heartland to an international shipping port on the Gulf Coast where it would be exported. Keystone XL would lead to a significant expansion of tar sands development, unleashing massive amounts of carbon pol-lution and threatening surrounding communities, ecosystems, and watersheds including the Ogallala aquifer, which provides drinking water for millions of Americans. Despite these threats, Keystone
2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 13
XL would create just 35 permanent jobs and would not enhance American energy independence. S.1 would short circuit the federal approval process, eliminating the State Department’s ability to assess whether the pipeline is in the national interest, and diminishing the president’s authority to ultimately approve or reject the project. On January 29, the Senate approved S.1 by a vote of 62-36 (Senate roll call vote 49) NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. Following House passage of this bill, President Obama vetoed S. 1 on February 24. On March 4, the Senate failed to override the veto by a vote of 62-37 (67 votes needed for override; Senate roll call vote 68). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. On November 6, President Obama rejected TransCanada’s permit application to construct the Keystone XL pipeline, citing concerns about its climate impact.
16. SELLING OFF AMERICA’S PUBLIC LANDSSenate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chair Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) offered an amend-ment to S. Con. Res. 11, the Senate version of the FY16 budget, which would authorize the sale, transfer or exchange of federal lands, including wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, national forests, and national memorials to state and local governments. The Murkowski amendment would allow states to take control of some of our nation’s most cherished places and sell them off to private interests for oil and gas drilling, logging, mining, and other development. On March 26, the Senate approved the Murkowski amendment by a vote of 51-49 (Senate roll call vote 106). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT
VOTE. The Murkowski amendment was included in the final Budget Conference Report that was ap-proved by the House on April 30 and the Senate on May 5.
17. RESPONDING TO THE THREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGESenator Michael Bennet (D-CO) offered an amendment to S. Con. Res. 11, the Senate version of the FY16 budget, which would create a deficit-neutral reserve fund related to responding to the threat climate change poses to our economy and national security. The Bennet amendment encourages the adoption of clean energy, the increased use of energy efficiency, and a reduction in carbon emissions. On March 26, the Senate approved the Bennet amendment by a vote of 53-47 (Senate roll call vote 115). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Bennet amendment was not included in the final Budget Conference Report that was approved by the House on April 30 and the Senate on May 5.
18. UNDERMINING CRITICAL HABITATS FOR WILDLIFESenator Tom Cotton (R-AR) offered an amendment to S. Con. Res. 11, the Senate version of the FY16 budget, which would undermine the protection of imperiled plants and wildlife. The Cotton amend-ment would require the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to examine the “cumulative” economic effects of a critical habitat designation, such as the effect on agriculture and business. The FWS already evaluates the total federal costs of a critical habitat designation and this amendment would drain agency resources that could be better used to further protections for wildlife and plants. On March 27, the Senate approved the Cotton amendment by a vote of 52-42 (Senate roll call vote 128). NO IS THE
PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Cotton amendment was included in the final Budget Conference Report that was approved by the House on April 30 and the Senate on May 5.

19. INVESTOR-STATE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT IN TRADE AGREEMENTSSenator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) offered an amendment to H.R. 1314, the Trade Act of 2015, which would prohibit the application of “fast track” authority, which allows for expedited congressional approval of international trade deals for any agreement that includes a provision allowing investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). Investor-state dispute settlement is a mechanism that allows foreign corporations to challenge government policies and actions that companies claim harm their invest-ments or profits, and these challenges take place in front of private trade tribunals. The use of ISDS has increased rapidly in recent years, and many of these cases have involved challenges to environment and clean energy policies. On May 22, the Senate rejected the Warren amendment by a vote of 39-60 (Senate roll call vote 188). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
20. FAST TRACK OF TRADE AGREEMENTS Representative Patrick Meehan (R-PA) sponsored H.R. 1314, the Trade Act of 2015, which approves “fast track” trade promotion authority for international trade agreements. Fast track allows the ad-ministration to send already-signed international trade deals to Congress for an up or down vote with limited debate and no amendments, severely hampering Congress’ ability to ensure these agree-ments benefit communities and protect our environment. Given the scope of these massive agreements and their implications on environmental policies and protections around the world, Congress and the American public have a right to know what is in these deals before negotiations are finished. However, the fast track process established in H.R. 1314 severely lacks both accountability and transparency and does not result in the “race to the top” that is necessary to make real, enforceable progress on environ-mental and public health issues in these agreements. On May 22, the Senate passed H.R.1314 by a vote of 62-37 (Senate roll call vote 193). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. President Obama signed fast track authority into law on June 29.
21. CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE EDUCATIONSenator Ed Markey (D-MA) offered an amendment to S. 1177, the Every Child Achieves Act of 2015, which would establish a K-12 climate change education grant program. Participating states would compete for grants in order to create climate change science and solutions curriculum, teacher train-ings, and to achieve sustainable building standards. On July 15, the Senate rejected the Markey amend-ment by a vote of 44-53 (Senate roll call vote 238). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
22. GUTTING CLEAN WATER PROTECTIONSSenator John Barrasso (R-WY) sponsored S. 1140, the Federal Water Quality Protection Act, a radical assault on the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Clean Water Rule, which protects the small streams and wetlands that feed into the drinking water of one in three Americans. S. 1140 would block implementation of the current Clean Water Rule and would require the agencies to re-propose another rule, forcing them to go back to the drawing board, repeating processes and soliciting input that they have already received, a waste of time and taxpayer money. In addition, this bill would also severely narrow and undermine the Clean Water Act itself by arbitrarily

defining which waterways deserve protection without any basis in science or recognition of the im-portant role of headwaters and seasonal and rain-dependent waters on downstream water quality. On November 3, the Senate rejected the motion to end debate and proceed to S. 1140 by a vote of 57-41 (60 votes were needed to invoke cloture; Senate roll call vote 295). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
23. EXTREME ASSAULT ON CLEAN WATER RULE (CRA)Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) sponsored S.J. Res. 22, the Congressional Review Act “Resolution of Disap-proval,” which would void the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers’ Clean Water Rule that protects the small streams and wetlands that feed into the drinking water of 117 million Americans. Not only would this obscure and radical measure vacate the current rule, it would also prohibit the agencies from developing any “substantially similar” rule in the future, keep-ing the unworkable status quo in place leaving our streams, wetlands, lakes, and rivers vulnerable to pollution for generations to come. On November 4, the Senate approved S.J. Res. 22 by a vote of 53-44 (Senate roll call vote 297). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. President Obama vetoed S.J. Res. 22 on January 20, 2016.
24. EXTREME ATTACK ON CARBON POLLUTION LIMITS FOR EXISTING POWER PLANTS (CRA)Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) sponsored S.J. Res. 24, the Congressional Review Act “Reso-lution of Disapproval” that would permanently block the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan. The Clean Power Plan established the first national limits on carbon pollution from existing power plants—our nation’s single largest source of the pollution fueling climate change. S.J. Res. 24 is an extreme measure that would block the biggest step our country has ever taken to address climate change, threatening our health and our future. S.J. Res. 24 would also prohibit the EPA from ever developing “substantially similar” standards in the future. On November 17, the Senate approved S.J. Res. 24 by a vote of 52-46 (Senate roll call vote 306). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. Following its passage in the House, President Obama vetoed S.J. Res. 24 on December 18.
25. EXTREME ATTACK ON CARBON POLLUTION LIMITS FOR NEW POWER PLANTS (CRA)Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) sponsored S.J. Res. 23, the Congressional Review Act “Resolution of Disapproval” that would block the Environmental Protection Agency’s carbon pollution standards for new and modified power plants. S.J. Res. 23 is an extreme measure that would permanently block these clean air protections, putting our health at risk and slowing our country’s transition to an economy powered by clean energy. On November 17, the Senate approved S.J. Res. 23 by a vote of 52-46 (Senate roll call vote 307). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. Following its passage in the House, President Obama vetoed S.J. Res. 24 on December 18.

2015 HOUSE VOTE DESCRIPTIONS
1. ATTACK ON PUBLIC SAFEGUARDSRepresentative Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) sponsored H.R. 185, the Regulatory Accountability Act of 2015, which is sweeping legislation that would cripple the rulemaking process by further empowering special interests to effectively stop federal agencies from moving forward with setting basic minimum protec-tions, such as those for Americans’ health and safety. It would override the requirements of twenty-five existing statutes, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and the Occupational Safety & Health Act. H.R. 185 would add more than 60 additional analyses to an already lengthy and complicated rulemaking process and expands judicial review, thus inviting increased litigation. On January 13, the House approved H.R. 185 by a vote of 250-175 (House roll call vote 28). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT
VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
2. LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) EXPORTSRepresentative Bill Johnson (R-OH) sponsored H.R. 351, the LNG Permitting Certainty and Trans-parency Act, which would expedite liquefied natural gas (LNG) export applications. H.R. 351 would rush the Department of Energy’s decision-making process, forcing a decision on a LNG application within 30 days of the conclusion of review under the National Environmental Policy Act or enactment of H.R. 351, whichever is last. Expediting this process jeopardizes our environment and the public interest while also incentivizing more hydraulic fracturing, a severely under-regulated process that is harming communities across the country and polluting our air and water. Additionally, the LNG pro-cess itself creates enormous greenhouse gas emissions through releases of methane, a potent climate pollutant, throughout the drilling process and the energy required for liquefaction and shipping. On January 28, the House approved H.R. 351 by a vote of 277-133 (House roll call vote 50). NO IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE. On January 28, the Senate rejected a similar amendment, sponsored by Senator Cruz, on LNG exports.
3. KEYSTONE XL TAR SANDS PIPELINE (KXL) Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) sponsored S.1, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act, which would automati-cally approve this dangerous pipeline, transporting the world’s dirtiest oil through the American heartland to an international shipping port on the Gulf Coast where it will be exported. Keystone XL would lead to a significant expansion of tar sands development, unleashing massive amounts of carbon pollution and threatening surrounding communities, ecosystems, and watersheds including the Ogallala aquifer, which provides drinking water for millions of Americans. S.1 would have short-circuited the federal approval process, eliminating the State Department’s ability to assess whether the pipeline is in the national interest, and diminishing the president’s authority to ultimately approve or reject the project. On January 29, the Senate approved S.1 by a vote of 62-36 (Senate roll call vote 49). On February 11, the House approved S.1 by a vote of 270-152 (House roll call vote 75). NO IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE. President Obama vetoed the bill on February 24 and the Senate failed to override the veto on March 4. On November 6, President Obama rejected TransCanada’s permit application to construct the Keystone XL pipeline, citing concerns about its climate impact.
2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 29
4. ATTACK ON SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITYRepresentative Frank Lucas (R-OK) sponsored H.R.1029, the EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act of 2015, which would undermine the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Science Advisory Board to provide independent scientific advice to the agency. H.R. 1029 would undermine the integrity of the Science Advisory Board by allowing industry participation on the board and making it more difficult for subject experts to serve on the board. H.R. 1029 would also impose new burdens on the board that would delay necessary public health and environmental protections. On March 17, the House approved H.R.1029 by a vote of 236-181 (House roll call vote 121). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT
VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
5. CLEAN ENERGY FUNDINGRepresentative Bradley Byrne (R-AL) offered an amendment to H.R. 2028, the Energy and Water De-velopment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would eliminate all funding to the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). DOE-led clean energy programs have helped drive innovation in energy technologies while significantly reduc-ing the costs of these technologies. EERE supports critical solar, wind, efficiency, and clean vehicle programs that help create jobs, reduce pollution, and increase our energy security. On April 30, the House rejected the Byrne amendment by a vote of 139-282 (House roll call vote 199). NO IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
6. ATTACK ON CLEAN WATER PROTECTIONSRepresentative Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 2028, the Energy and Water De-velopment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would undermine the Clean Water Act and jeopardize the waters Americans depend on for drinking, swimming, fishing, and flood pro-tection. The LaMalfa amendment would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers from enforcing provisions meant to provide oversight of discharges of dredged or fill material, expanding exemptions in a way that would encourage new wetland and stream destruc-tion. On May 1, the House approved the LaMalfa amendment by a vote of 239-174 (House roll call vote 212). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. A modified version of the LaMalfa amendment was in-cluded in H.R. 2029, the FY 16 spending deal, which President Obama signed into law on December 18.
7. ASSAULT ON CLEAN ENERGY & CLEAN WATERHouse Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee Chair Michael Simpson (R-ID) sponsored H.R. 2028, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which moves us backward on energy policy by slashing funding for renewable energy and energy efficiency while boosting funding for fossil fuels. Although the impacts of climate change are already being felt around the country, this bill’s report language attacks the government’s ability to assess the real costs of climate change impacts and the benefits of improving energy efficiency and limiting car-bon pollution. In addition, H.R. 2028 contains a number of damaging policy riders, including ones that would limit the Army Corps of Engineers’ ability to safeguard waters that feed into the public
30 scorecard.lcv.org | 2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV
drinking water systems of one in three Americans, as well as prevent the implementation of the Na-tional Ocean Policy, which would more efficiently coordinate the many government agencies involved in managing our ocean resources. On May 1, the House approved H.R. 2028 by a vote of 240-177 (House roll call vote 215). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. H.R. 2029, the FY 16 spending deal, which President Obama signed into law on December 18, included higher funding levels for renewable energy and energy efficiency and was largely free of damaging policy riders.
8. UNDERMINING CLEAN WATER PROTECTIONSRepresentative Bill Shuster (R-PA) sponsored H.R. 1732, the Regulatory Integrity Protection Act of 2015, which attempts to undermine the Clean Water Rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers. The Clean Water Rule will protect the small streams and wet-lands that contribute to the drinking water of one in three Americans from pollutions, but H.R. 1732 would stop the process in its tracks, withdrawing the proposed rule and delaying these long-overdue protections by forcing the agencies to unnecessarily repeat analysis and outreach they have already done. On May 12, the House approved H.R. 1732 by a vote of 261-155 (House roll call vote 219). NO
IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
9. PRAIRIE CHICKEN & BURYING BEETLE PROTECTIONS Representative Frank Lucas (R-OK) offered an amendment to H.R. 1735, the National Defense Autho-rization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, which would undermine the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by legis-latively delisting two protected species. The Lucas amendment would prohibit listing the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened or endangered species under the ESA until 2021 and de-list the American bury-ing beetle as a threatened or endangered species. On May 15, the House approved the Lucas amend-ment by a vote of 229-190 (House roll call vote 236). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Lucas amendment was not included in the Conference Report on the National Defense Authorization Act.
10. FISHERIES MANAGEMENTRepresentative Don Young (R-AK) sponsored H.R. 1335, the Strengthening Fishing Communities and Increasing Flexibility in Fisheries Management Act, which would re-authorize the main law govern-ing the management of U.S. fisheries—known as the Magnuson-Stevens Act. H.R. 1335 undermines decades of successful fisheries management that has allowed the recovery of 37 commercially and recreationally important fish stocks, cut the number of overfished stocks by two-thirds since 2006, and improved fisheries-dependent economies across the country. H.R. 1335 would roll back protec-tions responsible for the Magnuson-Stevens Act’s proven success and undermine several other bedrock environmental laws including the Antiquities Act, Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act, and National Marine Sanctuaries Act. On June 1, the House approved H.R. 1335 by a vote of 225-152 (House roll call vote 267). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 31
11. FAST TRACK OF TRADE AGREEMENTSRepresentative Patrick Meehan (R-PA) sponsored H.R. 1314, the Trade Act of 2015, which approves “fast track” trade promotion authority for international trade agreements. Fast track allows the ad-ministration to send already-signed international trade deals to Congress for an up or down vote with limited debate and no amendments, severely hampering Congress’ ability to ensure these agree-ments benefit communities and protect our environment. Given the scope of these massive agreements and their implications on environmental policies and protections around the world, Congress and the American public have a right to know what is in these deals before negotiations are finished. However, the fast track process established in H.R. 1314 severely lacks both accountability and transparency and does not result in the “race to the top” that is necessary to make real, enforceable progress on environ-mental and public health issues in these agreements. On June 12, the House approved H.R. 1314 by a vote of 219-211 (House roll call vote 362). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. President Obama signed fast track authority into law on June 29.
12. CARBON POLLUTION LIMITS FOR POWER PLANTS House Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield (R-KY) sponsored H.R. 2042, the Ratepayer Protection Act of 2015, which would undermine action on climate change and strikes at a central tenet of the Clean Air Act. H.R. 2042 would let governors simply opt-out of commonsense carbon pollution standards for power plants. It would also delay implementation of these critical stan-dards until all litigation is resolved, which could last until 2022. On June 24, the House approved H.R. 2042 by a vote of 247-180 (House roll call vote 384). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
13. STREAM BUFFER ZONEHouse Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would strike a provision preventing the Department of the Interior from revising regula-tions to better protect streams from mining waste. Prior to 2008, no surface mining could be permitted within 100 feet of a stream unless it would cause no adverse effect on water quality or quantity. The 2008 Stream Buffer Zone Rule essentially removed this buffer, allowing mining companies to dump rubble and waste, particularly from mountaintop removal mining, into valleys and streams, jeopardiz-ing the water resources and health of mining communities. On July 8, the House rejected the Grijalva amendment by a vote of 189-239 (House roll call vote 397). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
14. NATIONAL OCEAN POLICYRepresentative Niki Tsongas (D-MA) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would have struck a damaging policy rider in the bill prohibiting federal agencies from coordinating with coastal states, the public, and other stakeholders on programs and plans to ensure the safe and productive use of our nation’s oceans and Great Lakes. The National Ocean Policy, which this amendment attempted to preserve, directs government agencies with differing mandates to work together to improve ocean health and also ensures that all competing interests—including conservationists, fishermen, scientists,
32 scorecard.lcv.org | 2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV
shipping companies, port managers, energy developers, and those who live and work in ocean com-munities—have a voice in creating solutions for the many problems facing our oceans. On July 8, the House rejected the Tsongas amendment by a vote of 191-238 (House roll call vote 398). YES IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
15. GRAZING ON PUBLIC LANDSHouse Natural Resource Committee Ranking Member Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would remove a damaging policy rider in the bill mandating that Bureau of Land Man-agement and Forest Service lands damaged by drought and wildfire be made available for grazing. The Grijalva amendment would have ensured that any new grazing permits sought on these damaged lands be reviewed under the National Environmental Policy Act thereby ensuring public input and account-ability. On July 8, the House rejected the Grijalva amendment by a vote of 178-251 (House roll call vote 399). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
16. SOCIAL COST OF CARBON Representative Jared Polis (D-CO) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the In-terior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would remove a rider from the underlying bill that would force federal agencies to turn a blind eye to the economic costs of climate change. Across the country, climate change already costs communities billions of dollars each year, and this anti-science rider would prevent the government from considering the costs of extreme weather and other climate change impacts or considering the savings from government actions to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon pollution. On July 8, the House rejected the Polis amend-ment by a vote of 186-243 (House roll call vote 400). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
17. SMOG POLLUTIONRepresentative Donna Edwards (D-MD) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would remove a rider from the bill preventing the Environmental Protection Agency from issuing updated ozone standards. Ozone—more commonly known as smog—is a dangerous pollutant that causes serious health prob-lems, including asthma attacks and premature death. Public health science demonstrates the need to update national smog standards to adequately protect our health, especially those of vulnerable populations like children. On July 8, the House rejected the Edwards amendment by a vote of 180-249 (House roll call vote 401). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
18. BLM FRACKING PROTECTIONSRepresentative Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would remove a dirty policy rider that prohibits the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from implementing its newly-fi-nalized hydraulic fracturing rule. This commonsense, modest rule updates BLM regulations regarding well integrity, wastewater management and chemical disclosure standards for the first time in 30 years,
2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 33
helping to protect our environment and public health from the dangers posed by the fracking process. On July 8, the House rejected the Lawrence amendment by a vote of 179-250 (House Roll Call Vote 402). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
19. ENDANGERED SPECIES PROTECTIONSRepresentative Niki Tsongas (D-MA) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would strike harmful policy riders in the bill undermining the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Tsongas amendment removes language in the bill preventing the greater sage-grouse, northern long-eared bat, and the gray wolf from being protected under the ESA. On July 8, the House rejected the Tsongas amendment by a vote of 186-243 (House roll call vote 404). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
20. IVORY SALESHouse Natural Resource Committee Ranking Member Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would remove provisions from the bill that prohibit administrative rulemaking on the do-mestic sale or import of ivory imported into the United States. In order to crack down on ivory traffick-ing and end the African elephant poaching crisis, it is essential to curtail the commercial sale of ivory and prevent illegal ivory from being smuggled across our borders. On July 8, the House rejected the Grijalva amendment by a vote of 183-244 (House roll call vote 405). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
21. BIG OIL SUBSIDY ON PUBLIC LANDSRepresentative Steve Pearce (R-NM) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Inte-rior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would block any efforts to raise the royalty rates on oil and gas produced on onshore federal public lands. Oil companies pay a significantly lower royalty rate when drilling on public land, as compared to offshore or on state lands, which means a far lower return to taxpayers for the production of their natural resources. On July 8, the Pearce amendment was approved by a vote of 231-198 (House roll call vote 408). NO IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE. H.R. 2822 was pulled from the floor and the Pearce amendment was not included in H.R. 2029, the FY16 spending deal, which President Obama signed into law on December 18.
22. NATIONAL MONUMENTSRepresentative Cresent Hardy (R-NV) offered an amendment to H.R. 2822, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016, which would undercut the president’s authority under the Antiquities Act to protect public lands as national monuments in seven western states. The Hardy amendment is an attack on America’s outdoor traditions and on a tool that Republican and Democratic presidents have used for over one hundred years to preserve important cultural, historic, and natural places. On July 8, the House approved the Hardy amendment by a vote of 222-206 (House roll call vote 409). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. H.R. 2822 was pulled from the floor and the Hardy amendment was not included in H.R. 2029, the FY16 spending deal, which President Obama signed into law on December 18.

23. LIMITING ACCESS TO THE COURTSRepresentative Jared Polis (D-CO) offered an amendment to H.R. 2647, the Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015, which would strike provisions in the bill that prohibit preliminary and similar injunctive relief, impose bonding requirements, and eliminate recovery of court costs and fees on lawsuits related to certain forest management projects covered by the bill. The elimination of the court’s authority to issue preliminary injunctions could result in the forest land in question being logged before a final ruling is reached, harming forests, wildlife habitat, drinking water supplies and local recreation econo-mies. Moreover, requiring plaintiffs to post bonds to cover all of the government’s projected legal costs, while also prohibiting plaintiff’s fee recovery, makes accessing the courts a “pay to play” system. This would essentially eliminate the ability of many individuals and organizations to challenge gov-ernment violations of the law with regards to certain forest activities. On July 9, the House rejected the Polis amendment by a vote of 181-247 (House roll call vote 427). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
24. FOREST MANAGEMENTRepresentative Bruce Westerman (R-AR) sponsored H.R. 2647, the Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2015, which would severely undermine sustainable forest management policies and roll back critical environmental safeguards for our nation’s forests. H.R. 2647 would allow large-scale timber projects to skip needed environmental reviews and expand shortcuts reserved for small, non-controversial for-est management practices. Additionally, H.R. 2647cuts the size of citizen advisory committees, reduces public participation during environmental review, and requires citizens to cover all legal costs before questioning an agency in court. On July 9, the House approved H.R. 2647 by a vote of 262-167 (House roll call vote 428). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
25. CALIFORNIA WATER RESOURCESRepresentative David Valadao (R-CA) sponsored H.R. 2898, the Western Water and American Food Security Act of 2015, which would weaken the protections for fish, birds, and other wildlife in Califor-nia’s Bay-Delta. H.R. 2898 would undermine the Endangered Species Act, jeopardizing populations of salmon and other local fisheries, threaten the habitat of millions of birds by reducing funding sources and undermining the water rights of wildlife refuges, and put at risk thousands of jobs that rely on a healthy Bay-Delta. H.R. 2898 also includes provisions that would have ramifications across other western states, including reducing public input and review of water projects, reducing funding for the Bureau of Reclamation, and limiting states’ and the federal government’s ability to manage and pro-tect water resources. H.R. 2898 prioritizes the interests of large agribusinesses and uses California’s current low water supplies as an excuse to weaken federal and state environmental laws, when the real driver is the historic drought afflicting the state. On July 16, the House approved H.R. 2898 by a vote of 245-176 (House roll call vote 447). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
26.TOXIC COAL ASHRepresentative David McKinley (R-WV) sponsored H.R. 1734, the Improving Coal Combustion Re-siduals Regulation Act of 2015, which would permanently categorize coal ash as nonhazardous waste and gut the Environmental Protection Agency’s recently finalized coal ash rule. Every year more than
2015 National Environmental Scorecard · LCV | scorecard.lcv.org 35
140 million tons of coal ash—the toxic byproduct of burning coal that is laden with arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals—are stored in more than 1,000 impoundments across the country, many of which have leached dangerous chemicals into water Americans count on. This bill would allow for the continued operation or construction of impoundments in aquifers. Coal ash impoundments have also been known to fail catastrophically, as exemplified by the dam failure at a Tennessee Valley Authority site in December 2008 that spilled more than one billion gallons of ash across 300 acres and by a spill that dumped more than 24 million gallons of waste into the Dan River in North Carolina in 2014. On July 22, the House approved H.R.1734 by a vote of 258-166 (House roll call vote 458). NO IS THE PRO-
ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
27. GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD LABELINGRepresentative Mike Pompeo (R-KS) sponsored H.R. 1599, the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015, which would deny consumers the right to know what is in their food and how it is grown. H.R. 1599 would prohibit states from being able to require labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food as well as rollback other state laws that help ensure consumers are not misled by in-accurate labeling on foods. The majority of Americans increasingly want to know more about where their food comes from, not less. But instead, this bill’s sweeping preemption of state and local author-ity is an attack on consumer choice and state efforts to protect human health and the environment. On July 23, the House approved H.R. 1599 by a vote of 275-150 (House roll call vote 462). NO IS THE
PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
28. SAFEGUARDS SHUTDOWNRepresentative Todd Young (R-IN) sponsored H.R. 427, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2015, which would delay or shut down the implementation of vital public health and environmental safeguards against polluters dumping toxins into our air and water. H.R. 427—which requires both houses of Congress to approve all significant new public protections before they take effect—is redundant and unnecessary, since federal agencies by in large exercise authority that Congress has delegated in authorizing legislation. H.R. 427 is a tool for polluters to scuttle new health and environmental safeguards, which would lead to more premature deaths, illnesses, and other serious health impacts. On July 28, the House approved H.R. 427 by a vote of 243-165 (House roll call vote 482). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
29. CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCE & ADAPTATIONRepresentative Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) offered an amendment to H.R. 348, the Responsibly and Pro-fessionally Invigorating Development (RAPID) Act of 2015, which would prevent continued consider-ation or the selection of alternatives to projects submitted for review under the National Environmen-tal Policy Act that do not adequately address the risks of wildfires, flooding, or other extreme weather events fueled by climate change. The amendment would ensure that government-funded projects are resilient to climate change’s impacts. On September 25, the House rejected the Lowenthal amendment by a vote of 170-228 (House roll call vote 508). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.

30. ATTACKING PUBLIC INPUT & ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWRepresentative Tom Marino (R-PA) sponsored H.R. 348, the Responsibly and Professionally Invigorat-ing Development (RAPID) Act of 2015, which would severely undermine the National Environmental Policy Act, compromising the quality of environmental reviews and interfering with the public’s right to provide input in the management of public resources. H.R. 348 would set arbitrary review dead-lines, restrict the range of project alternatives that federal agencies can consider, and jeopardizes the integrity of the decision-making process by allowing project sponsors to prepare environmental review documents, which is a conflict of interest. It also would prevent any consideration of the social cost of carbon, a critical tool for weighing the climate impact of proposed projects. On September 25, the House approved H.R. 348 by a vote of 233-170 (House roll call vote 518). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT
VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
31. CRUDE OIL EXPORT BAN Representative Joe Barton (R-TX) sponsored H.R. 702, which would lift the United States’ 40-year-old ban on exporting crude oil. H.R. 702 would increase oil production by as much as 500,000 barrels per day, increasing the risk of drilling off our coasts, in the Arctic, and on our public lands. It would also increase carbon pollution while raising gas prices in the United States. On October 9, the House ap-proved H.R. 702 by a vote of 261-159 (House roll call vote 549). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation. The crude oil export ban was lifted as part of H.R. 2029, the FY16 spending deal which President Obama signed into law on December 18.
32. HARDROCK MININGRepresentative Mark Amodei (R-NV) sponsored H.R. 1937, the National Strategic and Critical Min-erals Production Act of 2015, which would effectively eliminate public review of hardrock mining ac-tivities on federally-managed public lands. The hardrock mining industry already enjoys free access to hardrock minerals on public lands and a lax regulatory framework under the woefully outdated 1872 Mining Law. H.R. 1937 would limit review of hardrock mining under the National Environmental Policy Act by shortening the time for public input and allowing the use of questionable and outdated data. It would also disenfranchise mining communities by limiting their capacity to hold mining com-panies accountable in the courts, thus jeopardizing their ability to protect their land, water, and health. On October 22, the House approved H.R. 1937 by a vote of 254-177 (House roll call vote 565). NO IS
THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.

33. EXTREME ATTACK ON CARBON POLLUTION LIMITS FOR EXISTING POWER PLANTS (CRA)Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) sponsored S.J. Res. 24, the Congressional Review Act “Reso-lution of Disapproval” that would permanently block the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan. The Clean Power Plan established the first national limits on carbon pollution from existing power plants—our nation’s single largest source of the pollution fueling climate change. S.J. Res. 24 is an extreme measure that would block the biggest step our country has ever taken to address climate change, threatening our health and our future. S.J. Res. 24 would also prohibit the EPA from ever developing “substantially similar” standards in the future. Following its passage in the Senate, on December 1, the House approved S.J. Res. 24. by a vote of 242-180 (House roll call vote 650). NO IS THE
PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. President Obama vetoed S.J. Res. 24 on December 18.
34. EXTREME ATTACK ON CARBON POLLUTION LIMITS FOR NEW POWER PLANTS (CRA)Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) sponsored S.J. Res. 23, the Congressional Review Act “Resolution of Disapproval” that would block the Environmental Protection Agency’s carbon pollution standards for new and modified power plants. S.J. Res. 23 is an extreme measure that would permanently block these clean air protections, putting our health at risk and slowing our country’s transition to an economy powered by clean energy. Following its passage in the Senate, on December 1, the House approved S.J. Res. 23 by a vote of 235-188 (House roll call vote 651). NO IS THE PRO-ENVI-
RONMENT VOTE. President Obama vetoed S.J. Res. 23 on December 18.
35. FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY BILLHouse Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) sponsored H.R. 8, the North American Energy Security and Infrastructure Act of 2015, which would further entrench fossil fuel en-ergy while missing the chance to invest in a clean energy economy. H.R. 8 would accelerate the process for constructing pipelines through national parks and monuments, remove important protections for tribes and wildlife related to the construction of hydroelectric dams, and lock in dirty and expensive energy in permanent and inefficient market structures. H.R. 8 also contains an energy efficiency title that would increase energy consumption. On December 3, the House passed H.R. 8 by a vote of 249-174 (House roll call vote 672). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
