The Wetlands Conservation and Access Improvement Act of 2025 proposes a significant amendment to the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act . This legislation focuses on the availability of funds within the Federal aid to wildlife restoration fund . Specifically, the bill alters the date at which interest accrued on obligations held in this fund can be apportioned. It extends the availability of these funds from the previously set fiscal year 2026 to the new fiscal year 2033 , thereby delaying their distribution for wildlife restoration efforts.
