This bill amends Section 8 of the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Act (Public Law 87-788) to add the District of Columbia to the list of entities included for purposes of funds made available under that Act. The change inserts the phrase the District of Columbia after the word include in that section.
If enacted, the District of Columbia would be treated the same as other listed entities when the McIntire-Stennis Act makes funds available. Individuals, universities, or organizations in the District that work on forestry research, education, or cooperative forestry programs could become eligible for those funds.
