PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-09-17 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
This bill proposes to renew funding authorization under the Tropical Forest and Coral Reef Conservation Act of 1998, adding $20 million for each fiscal year from 2028 through 2032. An authorization permits funding; it does not itself establish that money has been appropriated or spent.
2. Reauthorization Section 806(d) of the Tropical Forest and Coral Reef Conservation Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 2431d(d)) is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraphs: (14) $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2028. (15) $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2029. (16) $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2030. (17) $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2031. (18) $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2032.
Section 2 would append five annual amounts to section 806(d) of the existing law, totaling $100 million across fiscal years 2028–2032. The last proposed annual amount is for fiscal year 2032; this does not establish when the underlying program terminates.
