The U-S Senate approved three long-standing initiatives introduced by Senator Dean Heller as part of the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2015, a bipartisan energy bill focused on addressing national energy opportunities and challenges. Heller says this will save energy, increase domestic energy and mineral supplies, facilitate investment into infrastructure, improve grid security, and boost international trade. One of his provisions was the Good Samaritan Search and Recovery Act, which allows quicker access to public land and relief from liability, for those searching for missing persons.
