Government would change how it accepts private money for conservation efforts.
This bill would change how the Department of Agriculture accepts money from private groups for conservation programs. It would end specific rules for public-private partnerships. Instead, it would let the Secretary of Agriculture set up special accounts for each conservation program to take non-federal funds. This affects both the government and groups that want to donate to conservation.
Today, the Department of Agriculture accepts non-federal money for conservation programs through specific public-private partnership rules. After this bill, those specific partnership rules would be removed. Instead, the Secretary of Agriculture would be able to create special sub-accounts for each conservation program to directly accept non-federal funds.
