Key Points

  • Changes the date when interest earnings from a federal wildlife fund can be used from 2026 to 2033
  • Regular funding from taxes on hunting and shooting gear still goes to states; only the extra interest is held back
  • States may have less money for wetlands, public access, and hunter education projects until 2033
  • The money is not cut; it is delayed and could be available in a larger amount starting in 2033
