Committee on Energy and Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests, and Mining. Hearings held.
S. 1228 modifies the cost-sharing requirements for conservation projects run by youth and conservation corps organizations under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. Currently, the federal government covers 75 percent of project costs while local partners cover 25 percent; this bill increases the federal share to 90 percent and reduces the local share to 10 percent. The change makes it easier for youth and conservation corps to undertake public lands conservation work by lowering the financial burden on local organizations and communities that participate in these projects. The bill was introduced in April 2025 with bipartisan support and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. No specific funding amounts or implementation timeline are detailed in the legislation text provided.
