HR 4044 United States House · 119th Congress

Foundation for America’s Public Lands Reauthorization Act

This bill amends the existing Bureau of Land Management Foundation to rename it the "Foundation for America’s Public Lands" and adjusts its governance structure. Key provisions include gradually increasing the board size from 12 to 18 members over four years and requiring specific representation on the board (e.g., energy producers, ranchers, recreation groups, and mining industry representatives). The bill prohibits using foundation funds for litigation or lobbying and clarifies that gifts or donations can be used to support the Bureau of Land Management’s "multiple use" mission. It does not create new programs but reauthorizes and refines the existing foundation’s operations and funding mechanisms.
