Foxx Votes to Expand Americans' Access to Federal Lands for Outdoor Sporting Activities

Press Release

Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., today voted in favor of legislation that revises a number of existing programs to expand access to, and opportunities for, hunting, fishing and recreational shooting on federal lands.

H.R. 2406, the Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act of 2015, also eliminates red tape, safeguards against new regulations impeding outdoor sporting activities on public lands and protects Second Amendment rights. It passed the House by a vote of 242-161.

"Federal agencies frequently place burdensome regulations on the American public," said Foxx. "This legislation ensures that future generations will have the opportunity to safely access federally-controlled land and waters for recreation."
