House Bill 1383 would change our most protected wetlands class (class 3) to class 2. They already gave up a ton of our wetlands recently. IN only has 4% of it's original wetlands left as of today. Wetlands recharge our aquifers, contribute to our fertile farming soil, eat up carbon like it's candy and serve as a home to tons of wildlife.

We are stronger together! HEC is taking a stand against HB 1383, a bill that will further diminish our state's wetlands. Despite news reports highlighting the lack of stakeholder input and transparency in the development, HB 1383 has passed the House and is now being fast tracked through the Senate weeks ahead of a normal bill schedule. We can only assume this rushed schedule is in direct response to the opposition law makers are feeling to this bill.

Governor Holcomb has called for a comprehensive study on Indiana's water resources and wetlands need to be part of any comprehensive water management plan. It’s crucial that the Indiana General Assembly does not move ahead with this bad wetland legislation during an ongoing water study. Please join your voice with HEC and sign on to a letter to Governor Holcomb, asking him to urge legislators to vote "NO" on HB 1383 while this vital study is underway.

Add your name to the letter and send a clear message: Indiana must stop HB 1383 and consider all the facts before making decisions that could irreversibly impact our wetlands.
