Debbie Dingell of Michigan that would provide the Northern Marianas an additional $4 million to help conserve, restore, and protect fish and wildlife. The Marianas and other insular areas currently get about $1.3 million annually each under Pittman-Robinson wildlife restoration and hunter education and safety programs. H.R. 3742, which I cosponsored, would dedicate $1.3 billion in mandatory funding to the Wildlife Conservation Restoration Program. After state and territory minimums are apportioned, the remaining funds are distributed based on area, population, and the relative number of endangered or threatened species in the state or territory. With 21 endangered or threatened species in the Northern Marianas, roughly $4 million in new funding would go towards conserving our wildlife and habitat. The bill now heads to the Floor for a vote by the full House.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sablan.house.gov/restoring-and-protecting-wildlife"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2169010005891323, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
