Summary

Noxious Weed Control Act of 2003 - Directs the Secretary of the Interior, with appropriate consultation, to establish a program to provide to eligible weed management entities financial assistance for use in controlling or eradicating noxious weeds through States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories (States). Lists factors the Secretary shall consider in decisions to allocate funding to States, including the severity or potential severity of the noxious weed problem to be addressed by a State. Requires the Secretary to provide special consideration for States that have approved weed management entities established by Indian tribes. Sets forth eligible activities funds disbursed under this Act can be used for, including: (1) applied research to solve locally significant weed management problems; and (2) projects and activities relating to the control or eradication of noxious weeds, including education. Lists selection criteria by which States shall choose projects to which to award funds under this Act. Sets the maximum Federal share of the cost of any project approved by a State or Indian tribe under this Act at 50 percent, with certain exceptions. Sets limitations on the use of funds disbursed under this Act, including that none be used for projects to control or eradicate animals, pests, or submerged or floating noxious aquatic weeds.
