HR 9902 United States House · 118th Congress

Pacific Flyway Habitat Enhancement Act

This bill amends the Conservation Reserve Program to specifically support wetland habitat conservation on working agricultural lands within the Pacific Flyway. It allows the Secretary to enroll non-eligible farmland critical for habitat goals, permits seasonally flooded cropland uses with conservation practices, and adjusts rental payments to match regional wetland maintenance costs. The key change directly affects farmers and landowners who manage cropland used by wetland-dependent species, enabling them to maintain habitat while continuing agricultural operations. The bill waives matching payment requirements for these habitat-focused agreements, making participation more accessible under existing conservation programs.
