Why they voted this way
The speaker supports the amendment to add a university faculty member with sage grouse biology expertise to improve collaboration and ensure specialized research input on the implementation team.
Why they voted this way
The speaker opposes the amendment because adding more members would make the team too large to operate quickly and efficiently, though they note expertise can still be drawn from outside sources.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker argues that the bill is necessary to give the legislature a formal voice in sage-grouse policy, which currently lacks statutory reference despite its significant impact on state development. He also states that codifying the team provides an argument against listing the sage-grouse as endangered.
