HR 1098
Passed House Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

This bill reauthorizes the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program through fiscal year 2031, extending the program that encourages students to create artwork for duck stamp designs while learning about wetland conservation. The bill updates the definition of "state" to clarify which U.S. territories are included in the program and authorizes funding through 2031 instead of the outdated 2006-2010 timeframe. It specifies that program funding must be drawn from existing appropriations to the Federal Duck Stamp Office rather than requiring new additional funds.
