Bill 119 hr 831, also known as the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program Act, aims to create an interest-bearing account specifically for non-Federal contributions to the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program. This program focuses on conserving and protecting various species of fish, birds, and other wildlife that rely on the Lower Colorado River for their habitat.
The bill seeks to ensure that non-Federal entities, such as state governments, local organizations, and private donors, have a designated account where they can contribute funds to support the conservation efforts of the program. By establishing an interest-bearing account, the bill aims to maximize the impact of these contributions and ensure that they are used effectively to protect the diverse wildlife that call the Lower Colorado River home.
In addition to creating the account, the bill also includes provisions for the management and oversight of the funds, as well as reporting requirements to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of the contributions. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 hr 831 is to enhance the conservation efforts of the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program by providing a dedicated funding source for non-Federal contributions.
