To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for U.S. Department of Interior, US Fish and Wildlife Service, State and Tribal Wildlife Grants for fiscal year 2024.
Summary
This bill proposes to cap the amount of federal funding available for the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants program within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the 2024 fiscal year. This program currently provides financial assistance to states, territories, and tribal governments to develop and implement programs that benefit wildlife and their habitats, specifically focusing on species of greatest conservation need. If enacted, the legislation would limit the federal resources available for local conservation projects, such as habitat restoration and wildlife population monitoring, potentially shifting more of the financial responsibility for these activities to state and tribal budgets.
