Protecting Federal Funding for School Archery, Shooting Sports, and Culinary Arts.

This bill clarifies that federal education funds can continue to be used for popular school programs like archery, shooting sports, and culinary arts. The change addresses legal ambiguities that might have blocked funding for these activities due to a general prohibition on using funds for "certain weapons." This ensures students maintain access to practical and athletic skill development programs.
