Sport Fish Restoration, Recreational Boating Safety, and Wildlife Restoration Act of 2026
To amend the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act with respect to sport fish restoration and recreational boating safety, and for other purposes.
Summary
The Sport Fish Restoration, Recreational Boating Safety, and Wildlife Restoration Act of 2026 would extend the authorization of the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act from 2026 through 2031, continuing federal funding for sport fish restoration and recreational boating safety programs. The bill would modify the Multistate Conservation Grant Program by removing the cap that previously limited grants to $1,200,000 per appropriation and increasing the minimum grant amount to the greater of either 0.0375 percent of the annual appropriation or $200,000. These changes would allow for more flexible allocation of federal funds for multistate conservation efforts related to sport fish restoration.
