Bill > S722

This bill, amending the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, extends the date until which interest earned on obligations held in the wildlife restoration fund cannot be used for apportionment. Specifically, it changes the year from 2016 to 2026, meaning that any interest generated by investments within this fund will be held for an additional ten years before it can be distributed for wildlife restoration projects. The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, a key piece of conservation legislation, uses revenue from taxes on sporting arms and ammunition to fund wildlife management and restoration efforts across the United States.
