The Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Reauthorization Act reauthorizes critical resources to conserve and protect fish and wildlife populations in the Great Lakes. The bill will now head to the President\u2019s desk to be signed into law.\n\n\u201cMany Americans across the country consider the Great Lakes to be a crown jewel of North America,\u201d said Senator Young. \u201cReauthorizing the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act will provide the critical resources necessary to revive habitats across the Great Lakes Basin.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Great Lakes are a major part of Minnesotans\u2019 way of life, providing clean drinking water, fish and wildlife habitat, and opportunities for outdoor recreation,\u201d said Senator Klobuchar. \u201cOur bipartisan legislation will provide resources to protect fish and wildlife, combat threats such as invasive species, and help ensure Minnesotans can safely enjoy the Great Lakes for years to come. Now that this bill has passed the Senate, I look forward to seeing it swiftly signed into law.\u201d\n\n\u201cI applaud the Senate for passing the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act, which helps protect Lake Erie by delivering resources to Ohio and the Great Lakes region to address the greatest threats to our fish and wildlife \u2014 threats like invasive species and habitat degradation,\u201d said Senator Portman. \u201cBy reauthorizing this program through FY 2027, we are providing the Fish and Wildlife Service with the resources it needs to protect our Lakes and preserve our environment for generations to come. I look forward to it being sent to the president\u2019s desk for his signature shortly.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:41:06Z"]], "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://www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/young-colleagues-announce-senate-passage-of-bipartisan-legislation-to-support-fish-and-wildlife-restoration-in-the-great-lakes/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8715891744941473, "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"}
