H.R. 763 - The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Lobbied in support of this legislation. This legislation would establish a gradually increasing fee on the CO2-e content of fossil fuels and fluorinated gases, returning 100% of the revenue back to households as a monthly dividend. It would also establish a border adjustment to minimize leakage of carbon emissions to other countries, and pauses some existing EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, pending expected performance of the fee.

H.R. 2156 and S. 1232 - Revitalizing the Economy of Coal Communities by Leveraging Local Activities and Investing More (RECLAIM) Act of 2019. In support. This bill amends the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to make specified funds from the Abandoned Mine Land fund available to the Department of the Interior for distribution to states and Indian tribes to promote economic revitalization, diversification, and development in economically distressed communities through the reclamation and restoration of land and water resources adversely affected by coal mining carried out before August 3, 1977. Projects shall be located in a community affected by a recent decline in mining.

16. Specific lobbying issues

S.3894 and H.R. 7393 - The Growing Climate Solutions Act. In support. The Growing Climate Solutions Act is a bipartisan, bicameral bill that supports the use of climate-smart farming methods. This bill would help farmers and foresters access carbon credit markets so they can be paid for the carbon emissions theyre preventing and the carbon theyre sequestering. It does so by creating a new certification program at USDA to help solve technical entry barriers for farmer and forest landowner participation in carbon credit markets. One of the biggest impediments to land-based climate solutions is the difficulty for agriculture producers to participate in carbon credit trading. The bill aims to increase landowner participation and adoption of practices to reduce costs of developing carbon credits.
