Reauthorize Junior Duck Stamp Program

Full Title:
To reauthorize the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program Act of 1994.

Summary#

This bill would reauthorize the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program Act of 1994 and change two parts of that law. First, it changes the law's definition of "State" by inserting the word "and" after "Guam" and removing the phrase ", and any other territory or possession" after "Virgin Islands." Second, it updates the amounts and years of authorized funding for the program.

What it means for you#

If you take part in the Junior Duck Stamp program (students, teachers, or program sponsors), the bill would extend federal authorization of the program through 2031 and calls for higher authorized funding levels. The text also removes language that had included "any other territory or possession" in the law's definition of "State." No publicly available information on further effects beyond the bill text.
