Sponsor: Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI)

Passed the House

The House of Representatives has passed this bill. It now moves to the Senate.

In brief

This bill repeals the authority of the Natural Resources Conservation Service to accept and use nonfederal contributions for public-private partnerships under the SUSTAINS Act. It ends the agency’s ability to match private funds or allow donors to designate money for specific conservation projects involving climate change and carbon sequestration. However, the agency may still accept nonfederal funds to carry out the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program. Introduced by Representative Harriet Hageman (R-WY), the legislation is currently under consideration by a House subcommittee.
