Summary
Makes permanent the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). From the amounts deposited into the LWCF, $450 million shall be available in each fiscal year to carry out the purposes of the LWCF. Of the total amount available through appropriations or deposited into the fund under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006, at least 40% shall be for federal purposes, and at least 40% shall be for financial assistance to states.
