What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Each distinct thing the section does: the three replaced funding schedules in section 1241(a), the new funding for the regional conservation partnership program, the source water protection funding, the public access and habitat funding, the watershed protection funding, the feral swine funding, and the rescission.

The mechanical edits that strike an and, replace a period with a semicolon, or change 2023 and to 2023, so a new item can be added to a list.

The section works by amending the Food Security Act of 1985, the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act and the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, none of which is indexed here, so which programs the figures fund cannot be checked against anything on this site. The rescission reaches Public Law 117-169, which is also not indexed here.
