Ko’ko’ BIRDS Stamp Act
HR 8899, the Ko’ko’ BIRDS Stamp Act, directs the U.S. Postal Service to issue a special semipostal stamp (where the extra cost over postage supports a cause) for four years. All revenue from the stamp's sales must go directly to Guam’s Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources to fund native bird conservation, rehabilitation, breeding programs, and brown tree snake eradication efforts. The funds are protected from being offset against future postal service appropriations, ensuring dedicated support for these wildlife programs. This bill specifically affects Guam’s wildlife conservation initiatives by creating a new funding stream through stamp sales.
