Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to provide that interest on obligations held in the Federal aid to wildlife restoration fund shall become available for apportionment at the beginning of fiscal year 2033.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, which is a federal law that provides funding for wildlife conservation and restoration projects, by changing the date when interest on obligations held in the Federal aid to wildlife restoration fund becomes available for apportionment. Specifically, the bill extends the availability of these interest funds from fiscal year 2026 to fiscal year 2033, effectively delaying the point at which these interest funds can be allocated and used. The bill's title, the "Wetlands Conservation and Access Improvement Act of 2025", suggests a broader intent to support wildlife habitat preservation, though the specific text focuses narrowly on the financial timing of fund allocation. The Pittman-Robertson Act, originally passed in 1937, is a key source of conservation funding in the United States, with money typically derived from taxes on hunting equipment to support wildlife management, habitat restoration, and public access to wildlife resources.
