ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON\n\n                      of the district of columbia\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Friday, February 20, 2026\n\n  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, today, I introduce the Pittman-Robertson\nWildlife Restoration Act and Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act\nDistrict of Columbia Equality Act. This bill would make the District of\nColumbia eligible for federal funding under the Pittman-Robertson\nWildlife Restoration Act and the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration\nAct in the same manner as states. D.C. residents pay the same federal\ntaxes as residents of the states and, therefore, D.C. should be treated\nas a state under federal programs. D.C. has roughly 7,800 acres of\nparkland, covering nearly a quarter of the city.\n  The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act provides funding to\nstates for five distinct purposes: program administration, wildlife\nrestoration, basic hunter education and safety, enhanced hunter\neducation and safety grants and multistate conservation grants. In\ngeneral, D.C. is not eligible for funding under this Act.\n  The Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act provides funding for\nsport fish restoration, aquatic education, wetlands restoration and\nboat-related activities. Under this Act, each state receives a minimum\nof one percent of the total amount apportioned, while D.C. is capped at\none-third of one percent.\n  I urge my colleagues to support this bill.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2026-02-20-pt1-PgE147-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 21.921435021795332, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
