To make available certain unobligated balances to carry out a timber block grant program.
This bill redirects $80 million in unspent funds from the 2019 Emergency Forest Restoration Program to provide a block grant to the State of Florida. The funds will help Florida address timber losses caused by Hurricanes Michael and Florence, specifically targeting landowners with damaged timber on up to 10,000 acres per property. It also allows previously disqualified landowners (due to limited timber insurance) to qualify if they otherwise meet the criteria. The state will distribute these funds as grants to eligible landowners for recovery activities.
