Evidence
In a 119th Congress House Natural Resources hearing, testimony stated that the Recovering America's Wildlife Act was not passed by Congress; Rep. Dingell also said supporters would reintroduce the bipartisan legislation.
Congress.gov lists H.R.10390 as the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act of 2024, introduced December 12, 2024, referred to House Natural Resources and Budget, with status Introduced and zero cosponsors.
Congress.gov lists S.1149 as introduced March 30, 2023, read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works; it was related to H.R.10390.
Rep. Larsen's office said he supported RAWA, that the bill passed the House 231-190, and that it then headed to the Senate for consideration.
Congress.gov identifies H.R.2773 as the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act of 2022 and shows it passed the House on June 14, 2022; the bill summary says it would fund conservation or restoration of wildlife and plant species of greatest conservation need.
Larsen's campaign issues page says he supported the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2022 and will continue to push for full passage of the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act.
The National Wildlife Federation's current RAWA page urges people to tell Congress to take action and describes what the Act would provide if passed.
Assessments
As of June 4, 2026, the Recovering America's Wildlife Act has not received full congressional passage or been enacted. Larsen did materially support the effort, including cosponsoring and voting for the House-passed 2022 RAWA vehicle, but later 118th/119th Congress evidence treats RAWA as still pending, and he remains in office during the current term.
