Bill: Independent Wood Production Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 4196
Description[?]:
| Limiting felling to fire breaks may prevent necessary quotas of wood from being reached, whereas a set amount can be guaranteed through licenses. Restrictions need to be set to prevent too many trees from being taken down at once, but we want to maximize our wood production instead of relying on imports to make up the difference. |
