Plain-English Summary

This bill would extend federal wildlife and sport fish restoration funding programs to Washington, D.C., allowing the district to receive grants for conservation projects and outdoor recreation facilities that are currently available only to the 50 states. The funding comes from excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment, and D.C. would use these grants to manage wildlife habitats, improve fishing areas, and support outdoor recreation programs for residents. This change would give D.C. equal access to federal conservation resources that other jurisdictions have used for decades.
