This bill reauthorizes the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program, which has been in place since 1994 to engage young people in wildlife conservation through art and education. The legislation updates the program's funding levels and extends its authorization through 2030, increasing annual appropriations from $350,000 to $550,000 for the main program and raising separate funding levels for related activities. The bill also makes a technical clarification about which U.S. territories and possessions can participate in the program. The changes ensure the program can continue supporting state wildlife agencies and educational initiatives focused on waterfowl conservation and youth engagement in the coming years.
