Mr. Chairman. I rise today to offer an amendment that would strike the mandate grandfather provision of the Unfunded Mandate Reform Act. Added during the Committee on Rules consideration of this bill. this provision. found in section 425(E). protects all past mandates as long as they do not increase the mandate or decrease the resources allocated to fund it. In other words. the Clean Water Act. Clean Air Act. Immigration Act. Safe Drinking Water Act. Endangered Species Act. Resource Conservation Recovery Act. and Superfund amendments are all protected from the bill as written. As I have listened to this debate.
