Horsford Votes For Sportsmen Act

Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Representative Steven Horsford (NV-4) voted to approve H.R. 3590, the Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act.

The SHARE Act includes pro-sportsmen and sportswomen provisions that protect outdoor hunting traditions by directing the US Forest Service (USFS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to facilitate the use of and access to the lands they manage for recreational hunting, fishing and shooting.

"The SHARE Act ensures that our country's hunting and conservation traditions remain strong," said Horsford. "I support this bipartisan legislation because it recognizes the rightful place of hunting and fishing on hundreds of thousands of square miles of our state's beautiful public lands. The bill does not open up wilderness to any prohibited activities, and it also ensures sound management of wildlife and their habitats."

In addition, the legislation addresses various concerns of American hunters, recreational anglers, shooters, and trappers.

Horsford also voted for an amendment introduced by House Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member Peter DeFazio (OR-4), which would have eliminated provisions relating to National Environmental Policy Act waivers in the bill. The amendment was not adopted.
