2. The legislation may also affect individuals working in the field of wetland conservation, as the authorization of funds could provide job opportunities or funding for research and conservation efforts.
3. The resolution could also impact government spending and budget allocations, as it authorizes the use of funds for specific purposes. This could have a ripple effect on the economy and potentially affect taxpayers.
