What this bill would do

This bill is called the Every Kid Outdoors Reauthorization Act. It changes the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act. The main purpose is to permanently authorize the Every Kid Outdoors program. It updates who is eligible for the program to include fifth graders or home-schooled learners who are 10 or 11 years old. The bill also authorizes $25,000,000 for each fiscal year for the program. This funding supports operations, promotion, transportation services for schools with financial needs, and targeted outreach.
