Bill Analysis
Summary of HR 1567 - ACRES Act
The ACRES Act (Advancing Conservation and Reforestation Efforts on State and Private Lands) aims to enhance the capacity of state and private landowners to engage in conservation and reforestation efforts across the United States. The bill seeks to address climate change, improve biodiversity, and promote sustainable land management practices.
Key Provisions: The ACRES Act authorizes the establishment of a competitive grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Forest Service. This program will provide funding to state and private landowners for projects that focus on reforestation, afforestation, and the restoration of degraded forest ecosystems. The bill emphasizes the importance of collaboration among various stakeholders, including local governments, non-profit organizations, and community groups.
Funding and Authorities: The legislation authorizes appropriations of $50 million annually for five years to support these grant initiatives. It also allows for the establishment of partnerships with private entities and non-profits to leverage additional resources and expertise in implementing conservation projects.
Affected Programs and Agencies: The primary agencies involved in the implementation of the ACRES Act are the USDA and the U.S. Forest Service, which will oversee the grant program and ensure alignment with existing conservation and forestry initiatives. The bill also aligns with other federal conservation programs, enhancing their effectiveness through additional funding and resources.
Beneficiaries: The primary beneficiaries of the ACRES Act include state and private landowners, conservation organizations, and local communities that rely on healthy forest ecosystems for economic and environmental stability. The legislation aims to empower these stakeholders to undertake meaningful conservation efforts that contribute to national climate goals.
Key Timelines: Following its introduction, the bill was received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for further consideration. The timeline for further action will depend on the committee’s review and subsequent legislative processes.
