ALERT: Lacey Act Amendments UPDATE July 24, 2023: Representative Anna Paulina Luna (FL) will be introducing a companion bill to Rubio's S1614, also titled "Lacey Act Amendments of 2023." Without informing on the full story, unintended consequences, or blatant overreach, Luna's office claims the bill will fix "loopholes in the Lacey Act." We will provide more updates when available.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) introduced his ‘‘Lacey Act Amendments of 2023’’ earlier this session. This is the same bill we saw from Rubio as S626 in 2021 and the same language that was covertly slipped into the nearly 3,000-page House COMPETES Act in 2022.
