2024: Schweikert Voted To Establish A Sea Turtle Rescue Grant. In April 2024, Schweikert voted for , according to Congressional Quarterly, "the bill, as amended, that would require the Commerce Department to establish a grant program for sea turtle rescue assistance, which would include the recovery and treatment of stranded sea turtles and data collection for scientific research. Grants to any single entity would be limited to $150,000 for a 12-month period and would require a non-federal cost share of 50 percent. The bill would require the department to establish stranding and rehabilitation regions and distribute funds equally across the regions, taking into account the needs of threatened or endangered turtles and each region's specific needs over the previous five years." The vote was on passage. The House passed the bill by a vote of 332 to 82. [House Vote 111, 4/11/24; Congressional Quarterly, 4/11/24; Congressional Actions, H.R. 2560]
