Stefanik reintroduces invasive species bills
PUBLISHED: THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 2017 AT 3:11 PM
U.S. Rep. Elise M. Stefanik, R-Willsboro, has
reintroduced two pieces of legislation aimed at combating invasive species.
The first bill would direct the U.S. Postal Service to
issue a "Combating Invasive Species Semipostal Stamp," where net
proceeds from stamp's sales would be directed to the United States Department
of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior for programs that work to
combat invasive species.
The second bill is a resolution expressing the commitment
of the House of Representatives to combat the invasive species problem
nationwide.
Both were originally introduced during last year's
Congress.
Ms. Stefanik made the announcement in recognition of
National Invasive Species Awareness Week this week.
"These important pieces of legislation will help
raise awareness about the threats these invasive species play in our natural
ecosystems and will help combat these predators," she said in a statement.
