Bill Summary
To amend the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 with respect to pre-agreement costs of emergency watershed protection measures, and for other purposes. This bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to (1) identify a list of emergency watershed protection measures the cost of which may be incurred by a state, local government, or Indian tribe prior to entering into an agreement with USDA under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program; and (2) develop procedures, including appropriate deadlines, to be implemented at the state level, through which such entities may request and incur the cost for additional emergency watershed protection measures. USDA must consider any applicable pre-agreement costs incurred by a state, local government, or Indian tribe for undertaking emergency watershed protection measures as meeting part of its contribution towards the project costs.
AI Summary
This bill, the Making Access To Cleanup Happen Act of 2020 (MATCH Act of 2020), amends the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 to direct the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to identify a list of emergency watershed protection measures for which states, local governments, or Indian tribes can incur costs prior to entering into an agreement with USDA under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program. The bill also requires USDA to develop procedures for these entities to request and incur costs for additional emergency watershed protection measures before an agreement is in place. If an agreement is later reached, USDA must consider any applicable pre-agreement costs incurred by the entities as part of their contribution towards the project costs, though the entities assume the risk of incurring such costs before an agreement is signed.
