The House Game and Fisheries Committee is scheduled to meet on November 13 to consider House Bill 1576 (Pyle-R-Armstrong) which would make fundamental changes in the way threatened and endangered species are listed and considered during the environmental permit review process as well as changes to the process for listing wild trout streams.
The meeting will be in Room 60 East Wing of the Capitol Building starting at 9:30.
The bill generated significant opposition from sportsmens and environmental groups across the state during two joint public hearings held by the Game and Fisheries and Environmental Resources and Energy Committees.
At least one amendment is to be offered at the meeting to deal with some of the issues raised during the hearings.
Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron) serves as Majority Chair of the House Game and Fisheries Committee and Rep. Gary Haluska (D-Cambria) serves as Minority Chair.
