What it does
The bill would amend the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Act to include the District of Columbia as eligible for funding under the Act, ensuring it receives equal treatment with states in the distribution of cooperative forestry funds. This change affects the District of Columbia by granting it access to federal forestry research and extension funding previously available only to states. The amendment inserts "the District of Columbia" into the list of entities included for funding purposes under Section 8 of the Act.
