A bill to reauthorize the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program Act of 1994, and for other purposes.
S 5585 reauthorizes the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program, which engages K-12 students in designing duck stamps to fund wildlife conservation education. It increases annual funding from $350,000 to $550,000 for fiscal years 2024-2030 and adjusts other budget lines to support program operations. Key provisions clarify that funds must be used for student design awards, conservation education materials for schools, competition travel expenses, and marketing to promote the program. This directly affects participating students, schools, and conservation groups through expanded educational opportunities tied to the program's annual art competitions. The bill maintains the program's core purpose of connecting youth with wetland conservation while updating its financial structure.
