Branch Out Implementation Act

This bill authorizes $40 million annually (from 2008 through 2029) for states to develop and implement statewide forest resource assessments and strategies. It directly affects state forestry programs by providing dedicated federal funding for these planning efforts. The key provision sets a yearly funding cap of $40 million per state, allowing states to use this specific appropriation alongside other existing funds under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act. Total annual spending for each state's forest planning cannot exceed this $40 million limit.
