District of Columbia gains equal funding for wildlife and sport fish restoration.
This act amends existing laws to treat the District of Columbia the same as a U.S. state for funding wildlife and sport fish restoration programs. This means the District of Columbia will have access to the same federal funds as other states, potentially improving local environmental and recreational programs.
Key points
The District of Columbia will be recognized as a 'State' under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act.
This change grants the District of Columbia full access to federal funds for wildlife conservation and sport fish restoration, similar to other states.
Previously, the District of Columbia received a smaller share of funds or was excluded from certain allocations, which will now be rectified.
