S1228119th CongressWALLET
A bill to amend the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 to modify the cost-sharing requirement for conservation projects carried out by a qualified youth or conservation corps, and for other purposes.
Sponsored By: Senator Sen. Risch, James E. [R-ID]
In Committee
Summary
Raises the federal share to 90% for conservation projects carried out by qualified youth or conservation corps. It would lower the required non‑Federal match to 10%, reducing the fundraising or in‑kind burden on local partners.
Show full summary
- Youth and conservation corps: Easier to start and finish projects because crews face lower up-front matching requirements.
- State, local, tribal, and nonprofit partners: Need to provide less cash or in‑kind support, which can free up local resources for other work.
- Federal land agencies: Would shoulder a larger share of project bills, which can let agencies support more on-the-ground conservation with the same programs.

Lower matches for youth conservation
If enacted, the bill would raise the federal share of covered conservation projects from 75% to 90%. Non-federal partners (states, local governments, nonprofits, and private contributors) would only need to provide a 10% match instead of 25%. This change would apply to projects carried out by a qualified youth or conservation corps under Section 212(a)(1). The bill does not itself create new funding or new programs.
