The U.S. House of Representatives debates S.50, the Columbia River In-Lieu & Treaty Fishing Access Sites Improvement Act, on Monday, December 16, 2019.

The bill fulfills a promise made in tribal treaties to maintain fishing sites and villages along the Columbia River in Washington and Oregon.

The House passed S.50 by a voice vote under a suspension of the rules. The bill already cleared the U.S. Senate so all that's needed for it to become law is President Donald Trump's signature.
