Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, and in addition to the Committee on Agriculture, 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.
This bill would create a new grant program at the Interior Department to support remote search and rescue on federal lands, including lands managed by the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture. The program must start within one year after the bill becomes law. Grants can pay up to 75% of approved costs. The agency will give priority to places with lots of visitors compared to the number of local residents. States and local governments (or their designees) can apply, using forms and timelines set by the agency.
