House Republican Conference Summary
The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
This summary can be found at http://www.gop.gov/bill/111/1/hr86.
Background
The California Coastal National Monument, created in 2000, is located off the coast of California.
Summary
H.R. 86 adds certain rocks, small islands, and lighthouses to the California Coastal National Monument. The bill also would repeal statutes enacted in the 1930s that reserved two of the rocks for lighthouses, which were never constructed.
Cost
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that implementing H.R. 86 would have no significant effect on the federal budget and would not affect revenues or direct spending.
House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
