What this bill does
H.R. 10214 would amend the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 to change the cost-sharing formula that applies when federal land management agencies fund conservation projects carried out by qualified youth or conservation corps. Under current law, the federal government may cover up to 75 percent of a project's cost, with the remaining 25 percent expected from other sources. The bill would raise the federal share to 90 percent and reduce the required non-federal share to 10 percent.
The change would affect federal agencies that sponsor or fund public lands conservation work, as well as the youth and conservation corps organizations that carry out these projects. By reducing the amount of matching funds these corps must secure from other sources, the bill could make it easier for such programs to obtain federal support for conservation and restoration work on public lands.
The bill was introduced in the House on September 1, 2026, by Rep. Joe Neguse and referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, with additional referral to the Committees on Agriculture and Education and Workforce for consideration of provisions within their jurisdiction. It has not yet been voted on by any committee or the full House, and would need to pass committee review, the House, the Senate, and be signed by the President before becoming law.
