D.C. eligible for forestry research grants
If enacted, this bill would amend Section 8 of the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Act (Public Law 87-788; 16 U.S.C. 582a-7) by inserting the phrase "the District of Columbia" after the word "include." That change would make the District of Columbia eligible to receive McIntire-Stennis cooperative forestry research grants. D.C. universities, research centers, and city agencies would be able to apply for and receive funds on the same terms as other eligible recipients. The bill would not change funding formulas, authorization levels, or eligibility rules beyond adding the District, and the change would take effect upon enactment.
