  • Conservation projects and international partners see a larger federal contribution. Grant federal share increases from 25% to 33.3%, boosting the portion the federal government can pay for eligible projects.
  • The Secretary of the Interior must report to Congress within 180 days. The report must describe how cooperation obligations under the act are being met and include the advisory group's composition if applicable.
  • The act’s authorization timeline is extended. The baseline year for authorizations shifts from 2023 to 2028, allowing the program’s funding authorization to continue under the new baseline.

More federal help for migratory bird grants

The law raises the federal share of project costs from 25% to 33.3% for migratory bird grants. Grantees need to cover a smaller nonfederal match. The law also updates the authorization year from 2023 to 2028. This keeps the program authorized for future funding, but it does not add new money. These changes take effect upon enactment.
