ENABLE Conservation Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Schrier, Kim [D-WA-8]

In Committee

Summary

Expands eligibility for continuous enrollment in the State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement program. The ENABLE Conservation Act of 2025 would add land that will be enrolled under a Secretary‑established State acres for wildlife enhancement initiative to the list of land eligible for continuous enrollment, and it would update the statute that controls acreage limits to match that change.

Show full summary
  • Landowners and farmers: More parcels could qualify for continuous enrollment under the State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement pathway when those parcels are part of a Secretary‑established state initiative. This may make enrollment simpler for land tied to that initiative.
  • State conservation efforts and the Secretary of Agriculture: The bill recognizes land tied to a Secretary‑established State acres for wildlife enhancement initiative, giving the Secretary a clearer role in which lands qualify for continuous enrollment.
  • Program rules and acreage caps: The bill changes a cross‑reference for acreage limitations from section 1231A to section 1231(d)(6) so the acreage limits align with the new eligibility framework.

More conservation enrollment for farmers

If enacted, this bill would let eligible landowners and producers enroll more acres in the Conservation Reserve Program's State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE) continuous enrollment. It would add land that will be enrolled under a SAFE initiative established by the Secretary to the list of lands eligible for continuous enrollment. It would also update a legal cross-reference so existing acreage limits apply to the amended eligibility. The bill does not set payment rates, change CRP funding totals, or alter enforcement rules.
