Amends existing USDA programs that support forest biomass, sawmills, and wood products manufacturing by clarifying and broadening eligible activities, raising equipment/size and cost-share thresholds, and replacing prior funding levels with new authorized funding for fiscal years 2026–2030. It also revises the Wood Innovations Grant Program to explicitly include construction as an eligible activity and makes other targeted text changes to how that program is described and administered.

The changes are narrowly targeted to program language, eligibility, and funding formulas. The result is intended to expand the range of projects that can receive grants or cost-share, increase the maximum support available for certain projects, and provide a new multi-year funding profile to support forest products manufacturing and related biomass energy projects in rural areas.
