AI Summary
This bill, the Drought Relief through Innovative Projects Act of 2022 (DRIP Act of 2022), directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a grant program to help eligible entities (partnerships between flood control districts and local governments, among others) remove non-native plant species that contribute to drought conditions. The grant funds can be used to replace the non-native plants with native species that can reduce flood risk, improve water storage, and protect rivers and streams. The eligible entities must consult with local stakeholders and submit a plan detailing how they will use the grant funds. The bill authorizes $10 million per year starting in fiscal year 2023 to carry out this program.
