Public Law 109-363 is a multi-part environmental and land management act that transfers federal property to local control and extends funding for several wildlife conservation programs. Most notably, it transfers the Tylersville Fish Hatchery to the State of Pennsylvania and a federal administrative site to the City of Las Vegas for use as a public park.
For citizens, this law ensures the continued operation of local recreation and conservation facilities while reauthorizing federal grants for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and international efforts to protect migratory birds and great apes. Additionally, it authorizes the expansion of the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama and initiates a study for a new refuge in Pennsylvania, prioritizing the voluntary sale of land by private owners for habitat preservation.
