AI Summary
This bill, the Local Water Protection Act, amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize certain programs related to nonpoint source pollution management. Specifically, it extends the authorization for funding of these programs from the current limit of $100 million per year through fiscal year 1991, to $200 million per year through fiscal year 2026. Nonpoint source pollution refers to diffuse sources of water pollution, such as agricultural runoff or stormwater, as opposed to point sources like industrial discharges. This bill aims to provide continued federal support for state and local efforts to address nonpoint source pollution and protect local water resources.
