A concurrent resolution adopted by the General\n     Assembly of the State of Ohio urging the United States\n     Congress to enact the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act\n     of 2024; to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.\n\n                   House Concurrent Resolution No. 14\n\n       Whereas, On February 6, 2024, a group of bipartisan U.S.\n     Senators introduced the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative\n     Act of 2024, which reauthorizes the Great Lakes Restoration\n     Initiative (GLRI) for five years, from 2027 to 2031, and\n     provides funding in the amount of $500 million per year; and\n       Whereas, The Great Lakes are a critical resource for our\n     nation, supporting the economy and a way of life in Ohio and\n     the other seven states within the Great Lakes region. The\n     Great Lakes hold 21 percent of the world's surface freshwater\n     and 84 percent of the United States' surface freshwater. This\n     globally significant freshwater resource provides drinking\n     water for more than 30 million people and directly supports\n     1.3 million jobs, generating $82 billion in wages; and\n       Whereas, The GLRI has provided crucial funding to support\n     long overdue work to protect and restore the Great Lakes. In\n     partnership with the states, local governments, and other\n     organizations, the federal government has invested more than\n     $3 billion and supported over 7,000 projects since 2010.\n     These projects have cleaned up toxic pollution, reduced\n     runoff from cities and farms, combatted invasive species, and\n     restored fish and wildlife habitats; and\n       Whereas, The GLRI has made a significant difference and\n     represents a sound investment in both the environment and the\n     economies of the Great Lakes region. A 2018 study calculated\n     that for every federal dollar invested in Great Lakes\n     restoration there is an additional $3.35 created in economic\n     activity; and\n       Whereas, Far more work needs to be done. Toxic algal blooms\n     and hotspots contaminating water supplies along Lake Erie,\n     invasive species threatening native species and Ohio\n     industries, and contaminated sediments restricting\n     recreational opportunities pose substantial limitations and\n     threats to habitats for fish and wildlife and the use of the\n     Great Lakes. These problems require a collaborative effort;\n     now therefore be it\n       Resolved, That we, the members of the 135th General\n     Assembly of the State of Ohio, in adopting this resolution,\n     urge the United States Congress to enact the Great Lakes\n     Restoration Initiative Act of 2024, which reauthorizes the\n     Great Lakes Restoration Initiative for five years, from 2027\n     to 2031; and be it further\n       Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives\n     transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the\n     President Pro Tempore and Secretary of the United States\n     Senate, the Speaker and Clerk of the United States House of\n     Representatives, each member of the Ohio Congressional\n     delegation, and the news media of Ohio.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2025-02-03-pt1-PgS543"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 14.232956105843186, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
