Wetlands Conservation and Access Improvement Act of 2025

The Wetlands Conservation and Access Improvement Act of 2025 modifies the timing of when interest earned on the Federal Aid to Wildlife Restoration Fund becomes available for use. Previously, this interest was set to become available in fiscal year 2026, but this law extends that deadline to fiscal year 2033. The Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund collects money that supports state-level wildlife conservation and habitat restoration projects across the country.

This law affects state wildlife agencies and conservation organizations that rely on funding from the Wildlife Restoration Fund to carry out their programs. By delaying the availability of interest earnings for seven additional years, the law changes when states can access these additional funds for their wildlife management and habitat protection efforts.
