Public lands foundation would get $50 million and new board rules
This bill would rename the Bureau of Land Management Foundation to the Foundation for America's Public Lands. It would set aside $10 million each year for five years to help manage public lands. The bill also changes how the Foundation's board is put together. It requires members with specific backgrounds and representation from various public land user groups.
Today, the Bureau of Land Management Foundation operates with a less defined board and funding. If this bill passes, the Foundation would be renamed. It would receive $10,000,000 annually for five government budget years, totaling $50,000,000. Its board would also be expanded and required to include members with specific expertise and representation from various public land user groups. Additionally, it would be explicitly barred from using funds for lobbying or litigation.
