I received this response from my other U.S. Senator today:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding the Lacey Act. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you on this critical issue.
The Lacey Act is legislation designed to combat trafficking in “illegal” plants, fish, or wildlife. The statute was amended as part of the 2008 Farm Bill to include protections against illegally harvested lumber.
I understand your concerns about the regulatory burdens associated with complying with the Lacey Act. At the same time, there are legitimate concerns about troubling logging practices used in certain parts of the world. You can be sure I will keep your thoughts in mind as I continue to monitor the implementation of this legislation.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of more assistance. I invite you to visit by website to learn more about how I am standing up for New Jersey families in the United States Senate.
I think this may have been written by a bot.
