Why This Matters

This bill changes the rules so that the District of Columbia can receive federal funding for wildlife and fishing programs just like the states do. It ensures that D.C. residents have the same opportunities for conservation support as those living in the states.

If you live in D.C., you could see more funding for local wildlife and fishing programs.
