Summary of Bill HRES 995

Bill 111 H.Res. 995 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress that requests the President to provide the House of Representatives with all information held by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency regarding nutrient management in the Illinois River Watershed, which spans across Arkansas and Oklahoma.

The resolution aims to gather comprehensive data on the nutrient levels in the Illinois River Watershed, particularly focusing on the impact of agricultural practices on water quality in the region.

This data will be crucial in informing future legislative actions and policy decisions aimed at protecting and preserving the health of the watershed. Overall, Bill 111 H.Res. 995 highlights the importance of effective nutrient management practices in the Illinois River Watershed and underscores the need for transparency and accountability in environmental protection efforts.
