Senate committees voted to pass SCR56 and SR40, resolutions urging the United States government to develop a national biodiversity strategy.

Janet Burdick submitted written testimony in support of the measures. There was no extended oral testimony at the hearing and committee members recorded no substantive amendments. The committees voted to pass the resolutions as written.

The resolutions request federal action to develop a national biodiversity strategy; the hearing record does not specify funding requirements or a federal timeline. Committee records show the measures were passed unamended and forwarded for further consideration in the legislative process.
