Bill > HR773

This bill amends the Food Security Act of 1985 by modifying provisions related to contributions for conservation programs. Specifically, the bill allows the Secretary of Agriculture to establish sub-accounts for each conservation program to accept non-Federal funds that support the program's purposes. The bill removes language specifically referencing "public-private partnerships" from the section heading and eliminates several existing paragraphs (paragraphs 3 through 10) that previously governed these contributions. The changes streamline the process for accepting external financial contributions to conservation programs, making the mechanism more straightforward by focusing on the basic ability to establish sub-accounts and deposit non-Federal funds. This modification gives the Secretary more flexibility in managing conservation program funding while removing potentially more complex prior regulations about how such contributions could be used or structured.
