The Senate Resources & Environment Committee voted Jan. 21 to send RS 32844 — a joint memorial asking the federal government to adopt rules preventing depredation claims from being used to modify federal grazing permits — to print by voice vote.

The Senate Resources & Environment Committee on Jan. 21 voted to send RS 32844 to print.

Senator Guthrie moved that RS 32844 be sent to print; Senator Harris seconded. The motion carried by voice vote; the committee minutes do not record a roll-call tally.

The memorial, as summarized in the minutes, requests federal rulemaking but does not identify specific federal agencies or propose statutory language. The committee's action at this meeting was procedural — sending the memorial to print — and no further committee decisions on the memorial were recorded. The committee adjourned at 1:35 p.m.
