Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Permanent wildlife crossings funding

This bill would make the Wildlife Crossings Program permanent instead of a pilot. It would authorize $200 million each year for fiscal years 2026 through 2031 to carry out the program. Eligible project sponsors, including Indian Tribes, would be able to apply for grants under the permanent program. If a year’s obligations are less than the authorized amount, leftover funds could remain available until spent and be added to future year amounts.

More Tribal grant support

This bill would make the Federal share 100% for eligible Indian Tribe grant projects under the program. It would let the Secretary retain up to 0.5% of program funds for application review and grant administration. It would also allow up to 0.5% of funds to be used for Tribal technical assistance and to reduce the time between project selection and obligation. Those technical assistance funds could be used by the Secretary or through contracts with Federal, Tribal, regional, State, private, or nonprofit entities.
