Key Points
- Lets the Agriculture Department certify more third-party conservation advisors, including private companies and other non-federal groups.
- Allows approved non-federal groups and certain state agencies to certify these advisors, instead of only the federal government doing it.
- Sets faster timelines: 40 business days for approval of certifying groups, and 10 business days to add newly certified advisors to the federal registry.
- Requires a streamlined path for people who already hold certain professional credentials to get certified as advisors.
- Adds rules on payment rates, public transparency reporting, and a required review of the program within 1 year of becoming law.
