Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Funding and donations for public lands foundation

If enacted, the government would provide $10 million each year for five years to carry out this Act. The money would go to the Secretary of the Interior for the Foundation’s work. Federal agencies would be able to accept and spend gifts the Foundation receives, without another appropriation. Those gifts would have to support the Bureau of Land Management’s multiple‑use mission.

No lawsuits or lobbying with Act funds

If enacted, money under this Act could not pay for lawsuits. It also could not be used to influence bills in Congress. This limit would apply to the Foundation and any group using Act funds.

New board rules and name for foundation

If enacted, the current Bureau of Land Management Foundation would be renamed the Foundation for America's Public Lands. The board would grow in steps: 12 within 180 days; 15 in two years; 18 in four years. At least one‑third of members would need related conservation or resource management expertise. Once at 18, some seats would be reserved. Two members would have energy experience: one fossil, one non‑fossil. Other seats would cover ranching or grazing on Bureau of Land Management lands. They would also cover non‑motorized and motorized recreation, hunting or fishing or the shooting industry, and mining. The board would also need to address the Bureau of Land Management’s multiple‑use mandate.
