What this bill does
H.R. 21, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, is a full-year funding bill that would provide annual appropriations for several federal departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. As reflected in the text provided, it sets specific funding levels for the Department of the Interior and related agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service, covering activities such as land management, wildlife and habitat conservation programs, historic preservation grants, park operations, construction and maintenance, and land acquisition through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The bill also contains numerous conditions on how funds may be used, including limits on administrative costs, restrictions on certain endangered species actions, and requirements for matching or non-federal funding for some grant programs.
