SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Lands 
Restoration, Enhancement, Public Education, and Information Resources 
Act of 2005''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Violations of laws and regulations applicable to the 
        use of Federal lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of 
        the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture often result in 
        damages to those lands that require expenditures for 
        restoration activities to mitigate the damages.
            (2) Increased public information and education regarding 
        the laws and regulations applicable to the use of these Federal 
        lands can help to reduce the frequency of unintentional 
        violations.
            (3) It is appropriate that fines and other monetary 
        penalties paid as a result of violations of laws and 
        regulations applicable to the use of these Federal lands be 
        used to defray the costs of such restoration activities and to 
        provide such public information and education.
