Bill overview
This bill aims to support and expand a program that encourages private landowners to allow public access for activities like hunting and fishing on their land. The Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program, administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, provides grants to state and tribal governments to incentivize landowners to participate. The bill reauthorizes the program through 2028 and increases the available funding to $150 million per year during those years. This will help promote wildlife conservation and recreational opportunities.
