Issues
Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) sponsored an amendment to H.R. 4821, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2024, which would prohibit funding to implement executive orders that help reduce harmful pollution, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, jumpstart clean energy innovation and deployment, and accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy. The damaging effects of this amendment would include hobbling our government’s ability to mitigate, prepare for, and respond to the threats posed by climate change. On November 3, the House approved the Roy amendment by a vote of 208-207 (House roll call vote 595). The House passed H.R. 4821 on November 3. The Senate did not consider this legislation or any Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill in 2023.
