H.R. 1676: Make SWAPs Efficient Act of 2025
Sponsor
Byron Donalds
Republican · FL-19
What H.R. 1676 does
States get federal wildlife funding to carry out their state wildlife action plans, and Interior must approve them first. H.R. 1676, the Make SWAPs Efficient Act of 2025, would set a 180-day deadline for Interior to approve a state's wildlife conservation and restoration program once it submits a plan that meets the program's requirements.
If Interior misses the deadline, the plan would be approved automatically and Interior would have to set aside the state's share of money from the Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Account.
