Increased TSP Access Act of 2025

This bill tells the Department of Agriculture to make it easier for outside experts — like private businesses, tribes, and nonprofits — to get certified as Technical Service Providers, which are people who help landowners with conservation work like planning and designing projects. It creates a faster certification path for providers who already hold certain specialty qualifications, and it allows non-government organizations to help certify these providers, as long as they have the right experience and ability. The bill also requires that these outside providers be paid at the same rates as government workers doing the same kind of work, and it directs the Department of Agriculture to share public information about these providers, including details on funding, certification results, and how often they are used.
