4 IDAHO IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
5 We, your Memorialists, the House of Representatives and the Senate of the
6 State of Idaho assembled in the Second Regular Session of the Fifty-eighth
7 Idaho Legislature, do hereby respectfully represent that:
8 WHEREAS, the state of Idaho is home to a large number of species consid-
9 ered to be threatened or endangered and many citizens of Idaho are directly
10 affected by actions taken under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act;
11 and
12 WHEREAS, the citizens of Idaho are performing many voluntary measures to
13 help in the conservation and recovery of species which are or may become
14 listed as threatened or endangered; and
15 WHEREAS, the Endangered Species Act as structured has not created meaning-
16 ful incentives to engage private landowners in conservation and has failed to
17 achieve its ultimate aim in the recovery of endangered species; and
18 WHEREAS, United States Senator Mike Crapo has introduced Senate Bill 2110,
19 Collaboration for the Recovery of Endangered Species Act (CRESA); and
20 WHEREAS, CRESA will focus on species recovery, prioritize recovery
21 efforts, expand the role of states for managing listed species, and compensate
22 landowners for their efforts in species protection.
23 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second Regular Ses-
24 sion of the Fifty-eighth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and
25 the Senate concurring therein, that we support the efforts of Senator Mike
26 Crapo to reform and improve the Endangered Species Act through the enactment
27 of CRESA, and promote species conservation and preservation within the state
28 of Idaho and the United States of America.
29 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the House of Representa-
30 tives be, and she is hereby authorized and directed to forward a copy of this
31 Memorial to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Repre-
32 sentatives of Congress, and the congressional delegation representing the
33 State of Idaho in the Congress of the United States.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 16075
This is a joint memorial showing support for Senator Mike Crapo
and his efforts to improve and reform the Endangered Species
Act(ESA). The need for this arises from the fact that many of the
citizens of Idaho are directly affected by the actions taken
under the provisions of the ESA and many have a vested interest
in helping in the conservation and recovery of species throughout
Idaho. Through Senate Bill 2110, known as the Collaboration for
the Recovery of Endangered Species Act (CRESA), Senator Crapo has
focused on the goals of improving species recovery, expanding the
roles of states to manage listed species, and providing
compensation for landowners for their efforts in species
protection.
