SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Land 
Restoration, Enhancement, Public Education, and Information Resources 
Act'' or the ``Federal Land REPAIR Act''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) violations of laws (including regulations) applicable 
        to the use of Federal land under the jurisdiction of the 
        Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture often 
        result in damages to the Federal land that require expenditures 
        for restoration activities to mitigate the damages;
            (2) increased public information and education regarding 
        the laws (including regulations) applicable to the use of the 
        Federal land can help to reduce the frequency of unintentional 
        violations; and
            (3) it is appropriate that fines and other monetary 
        penalties paid as a result of violations of laws (including 
        regulations) applicable to the use of Federal land be used to 
        defray the costs of the restoration activities and to provide 
        public information and education.
