HR 1676 requires the Secretary of the Interior to approve state wildlife conservation plans within 180 days. States get conditional go-ahead to start spending funds immediately upon submission. If the deadline is missed, Congress gets a report explaining why.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Make SWAPs Efficient Act of 2025 is a Senate bill committee Action. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Latest action on H.R. 1676: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects state wildlife agencies that rely on federal approval to implement their conservation programs, and the U.S. Department of the Interior, which handles the reviews.
Why this matters: State wildlife conservation programs protect species, manage habitats, and use federal funds that come from taxes on hunting and fishing equipment. When the federal approval process drags on, states can't fully spend that money or start planned projects. This bill is about removing that bureaucratic delay.

The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
