Summary of Bill HR 2185

Bill 118 hr 2185, titled "To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for U.S. Department of Interior, Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration, Natural Resource Damage Assessment Fund for fiscal year 2024," aims to place restrictions on the amount of funds that can be allocated to the U.S. Department of Interior for natural resource damage assessment and restoration in the fiscal year 2024.

By placing a restriction on the funds available for this purpose, the bill aims to ensure that the Department of Interior is using its resources efficiently and effectively.

The limitation on funds specified in the bill is intended to promote fiscal responsibility and accountability within the Department of Interior, while still allowing for necessary assessments and restoration efforts to take place.

Overall, Bill 118 hr 2185 seeks to strike a balance between the need to protect and restore natural resources and the importance of responsible budgeting within the U.S. Department of Interior.
