WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Mark Amodei (NV-02) issued the following statement following the House passage of S.612, the Lake Tahoe Restoration Reauthorization Act (LTRA), the Senate companion bill of his bill H.R. 1274, which reauthorizes program funding through September 30, 2034. The bill will now move to the President’s desk.

“It is our responsibility to keep the environment around beautiful Lake Tahoe in quality shape for future generations to enjoy,” said Rep. Mark Amodei. “The reauthorization of  the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act will continue to provide the resources and oversight to do just that. I was proud to lead the effort in the House and am grateful to Senator Cortez Masto for her bicameral partnership in securing this sufficient funding which properly lays out program strategies to restore healthy water conditions, reduce wildfire threats and extract invasive species threatening the Lake Tahoe Basin and its surrounding community.”

"The Lake Tahoe Region is grateful to Congress for their leadership in passing this critical piece of legislation to continue the collaborative work to protect and restore Lake Tahoe," said Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Executive Director Julie Regan. "Extending the federal investment in the EIP will leverage millions of dollars in state and local funding to implement the top priority projects for the lake and our communities."

Background:
 

In 2023, Rep. Mark Amodei reintroduced the LTRA Reauthorization, originally introduced in 2021, along with the support of cosponsors Rep. Dina Titus (NV-01), Rep. Susie Lee (NV-03), Rep. Steven Horsford (NV-04), and Rep. John Garamendi (CA-08).

This bipartisan legislation extends $415 million in funding through September 30, 2034. By building on previous success, this reauthorization provides sufficient funding to environmental projects that restore healthy water levels, mitigate the risk of wildfires, control invasive species, and maintain quality environmental standards in the Lake Tahoe Basin. 

Due to the significance of the situation, companion legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV), the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA).

With the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act set to expire on September 30, 2024, the House diligently worked to pass the Lake Tahoe Restoration Reauthorization Act in this Congress which reauthorizes the $415 million in funding through September 2034.
