Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Refined Authority for Conservation Programs: Under Section 1, the bill changes the language so the Secretary may establish a sub-account for each conservation program administered under subtitle D to accept non-Federal fund contributions. This provides a specific framework for how those funds are handled.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Repeal of Public-Private Partnership Provisions: Section 1 instructs the striking of the phrase "for Public-Private Partnerships" and the removal of paragraphs (3) through (10). This constitutes a repeal of certain provisions previously related to the acceptance and use of contributions for those partnerships.
