For those of you that might be following the proposed amendment to the Lacey Act that would relax many of the original provisions and accountability requirements for importers, the vote to amend the Act seems to have hit a wall, and the vote to be taken in the U.S. House of Representatives likely will not happen.

You can read more HERE about the recent cancellation of the scheduled vote that was to have been taken this week. There are also additional links to previous reports if you would like to read more about what prompted the proposed amendment.
