America’s Conservation Enhancement Reauthorization Act of 2024
This bill reauthorizes key conservation programs under the America's Conservation Enhancement Act through 2030, extending provisions that were set to expire in 2025. It specifically extends the Black Vulture Livestock Protection Program, allowing public entities or Farm Bureau organizations in each state to obtain permits to manage black vulture populations threatening livestock. The bill also extends funding for Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts, Chronic Wasting Disease Task Force activities, and National Fish Habitat Conservation Partnerships through 2030. It modifies the National Fish Habitat Board to include additional tribal representatives and clarifies reporting requirements for conservation programs. The bill does not create new programs but extends existing conservation efforts and their funding mechanisms.
