Bill Analysis
The America’s Conservation Enhancement Reauthorization Act of 2024 (S 3791) aims to extend and enhance various conservation programs and initiatives previously established under the original America’s Conservation Enhancement Act. This legislation reauthorizes critical funding and authorities for several key conservation programs, primarily administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Key provisions of the bill include the reauthorization of funding for the National Fish Habitat Partnership, which supports collaborative efforts among states, local communities, and non-profit organizations to restore and maintain fish habitats. The bill also emphasizes the importance of conserving migratory birds and their habitats through the reauthorization of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act, which facilitates the acquisition and protection of vital bird habitats.
Additionally, the legislation promotes the establishment of the Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Program, which provides states with resources to enhance wildlife conservation efforts, particularly for species that are not hunted or fished. This program aims to bolster state-led initiatives that address the needs of wildlife populations and their habitats.
The bill allocates funding for these programs through appropriations authorized for the fiscal years 2024 through 2028, ensuring sustained financial support for conservation efforts. It is designed to benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including state wildlife agencies, conservation organizations, and the general public, by fostering biodiversity and promoting sustainable ecosystems.
Key timelines include the immediate implementation of the reauthorized programs upon the bill’s enactment, with funding cycles aligning with the federal fiscal year. The act’s passage signifies a commitment to long-term conservation strategies and collaboration among various stakeholders to address pressing environmental challenges.
