Rep. Matthew M. Rosendale, Sr.

Maddy summaryHR 2174 limits funding for the U.S. Department of Interior's oil spill research program to $14,899,000 during fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects the Interior Department's ability to allocate resources for oil spill research by setting a strict annual spending cap. The key provision is a mandatory funding ceiling that prevents the program from exceeding this specific amount. The bill does not change research priorities or activities, only constrains the available budget.

Maddy summaryThis bill (HR 2173) sets a spending cap of $145.475 million for the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement's Offshore Safety and Environmental Enforcement division within the U.S. Department of Interior for fiscal year 2024. It directly affects this specific federal agency by restricting the amount of funds it can use for its offshore safety and environmental enforcement activities during that fiscal year. The key provision is a statutory limit on available funds, preventing the bureau from exceeding this specified amount.

Maddy summaryHR 2161 sets a $42 million funding cap for the North American Wetlands Conservation Fund in fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s ability to allocate funds toward wetlands conservation projects through this specific program. The key provision limits available funds to $42 million, overriding other potential funding authorizations for the program. It does not create new conservation initiatives but restricts the maximum spending amount for this established fund.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits all funding for the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) within the U.S. Department of the Interior for fiscal year 2024, setting its available funds to $0. It directly affects BOEM's ability to operate or carry out any activities during that fiscal year. The provision is a strict, absolute funding limit with no exceptions, preventing the Bureau from using any authorized funds for its responsibilities. This is a procedural budgetary measure with no new policy provisions or direct impact on external groups.

Maddy summaryThis bill limits funding for the National Wildlife Refuge Fund to $13,228,000 in fiscal year 2024. It restricts the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's budget specifically for managing national wildlife refuges under the Department of Interior. The cap applies directly to this fund's available funds for the 2024 fiscal year, with no other funding sources affected.

Maddy summaryHR 2171 caps funding for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior for fiscal year 2024 at $1,160,596,000. This bill directly affects the USGS's budget authority for its surveys, investigations, and research programs by setting a strict spending limit. The key provision is a statutory spending cap that prevents the USGS from using more than this specific amount for its core activities during the 2024 fiscal year. This is a straightforward budgetary measure with no new programs or policy changes, solely limiting available funds.

Maddy summaryThis bill (HR 2159) sets a maximum funding limit of $24,062,000 for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund during fiscal year 2024. It directly affects the fund, which provides grants to states, tribes, and local groups for habitat conservation projects protecting endangered species. The key provision is a strict cap on available funds, preventing the use of any amount exceeding this specified dollar figure for the designated program in FY2024. This is a procedural budget restriction, not a policy change to conservation efforts.

Maddy summaryHR 2170 sets a $15 million cap on funding for the National Park Service's Centennial Challenge program during fiscal year 2024. This directly affects projects funded through this specific grant initiative, which typically supports park restoration and preservation efforts. The bill prohibits exceeding this limit on available funds without altering other National Park Service programs or funding mechanisms.

Maddy summaryHR 2169 prohibits any funding for the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service Land Acquisition and State Assistance programs during fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects park land conservation efforts and state-level park management support by blocking all available funds for these specific purposes. The key mechanism is a strict $0 limit on appropriations, meaning no money can be allocated or spent on land purchases for national parks or state assistance grants under this account for FY2024. This would halt new land acquisitions and state partnership programs funded through this particular budget line item.

This bill specifies that no FY2024 funding is authorized to be appropriated or made available for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Land Acquisition account.
