Expands and updates two USDA grant programs that support wood energy and forest products manufacturing. It broadens what projects can qualify, emphasizes using primarily forest biomass, allows larger facilities, raises cost‑share/matching limits, and authorizes $50 million per year for fiscal years 2026–2030 for the community wood program.
It also updates the wood innovations program so funds can support construction, use, or retrofitting for forest products manufacturing (not just existing sawmills), and makes conforming updates to program headings and administrative text.
Referred to the Committee on Agriculture, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
