On the recordMarch 2, 1995
The concern is now we are limiting the bill to these areas of wetlands takings and ESA takings or actions of the agencies here to deprive people of water rights, that to allow the State to duplicate the Federal proscription and, therefore, violate the person's right to receive compensation by simply duplicating the same proscription would, in fact, not be appropriate. The person who has lost his property, whose rights to use it, whose value is diminished because of some Federal statute should not lose the right to compensation just because the State has also duplicated that prohibition. Only when the State has other reasons to prohibit it should that occur.
