McIntire-Stennis Act District of Columbia Equality Act

This bill amends the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Act to include the District of Columbia as an eligible jurisdiction for funding. It directly affects the District of Columbia by allowing it to access forestry research and education grants previously unavailable to DC under this federal program. The key mechanism is a simple textual amendment to Section 8 of the existing law, inserting "District of Columbia" after "include" to remove the exclusion. This change enables DC to apply for and receive McIntire-Stennis funding for forestry initiatives. The bill does not alter other program requirements or create new funding streams.
