The transferscodified by this legislation are thus constitutional.[Page H4570]]]> sseg00 Energy and Natural Resources Committee Senate Standing Reported by 2018-11-14T23:11:48Z Markup by 2018-10-02T14:00:00Z Referred to 2018-07-24T19:57:30Z hsii00 Natural Resources Committee House Standing hsii10 Federal Lands Subcommittee Discharged from 2017-11-29T21:19:27Z Hearings by 2017-10-11T17:50:39Z Referred to 2017-06-07T13:44:34Z Reported by 2018-01-29T22:26:01Z Markup by 2017-11-30T21:21:50Z Markup by 2017-11-29T21:21:44Z Referred to 2017-05-24T14:04:00Z S.
