Appropriation for replacement seedlings modification and extension

SF 3144 extends the deadline for using $5 million in funds designated for replacing drought-killed seedlings from June 30, 2027, to June 30, 2029. The funds support the Department of Natural Resources and are distributed as grants to tribes, counties, and private forestland owners to cover site preparation, replanting, and tending of seedlings. The bill also maintains the $300,000 appropriation for resolving well interferences from the 2021 drought, keeping it available until June 30, 2026. This extension ensures continued support for forest recovery efforts after drought events.
