This bill would change the cost-sharing rule in the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 for conservation projects carried out by a qualified youth or conservation corps. It replaces "75" with "90" in the first sentence of section 212(a)(1) and replaces "25" with "10" in the second sentence. In plain terms, the federal share would increase to 90 percent and the nonfederal share would fall to 10 percent for those projects.
If you are a qualified youth or conservation corps, projects you carry out under the Public Lands Corps Act would have a larger federal share (90 percent) and require a smaller nonfederal contribution (10 percent). If you are a nonfederal partner or funder, your required contribution for these projects would be reduced to 10 percent under the amended text.
