AI Summary

This bill makes a FY2023 supplemental appropriation of $17 million to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for grants to assist qualified entities (such as lake management commissions, local government units, and non-profit organizations) to pay for the management and maintenance of lakes for recreation and conservation purposes. The grants can be used for stormwater and nonpoint source pollution management activities that would enhance, improve, or protect the use of a lake for recreation and conservation. The DEP is required to establish a program to provide these grants and develop criteria to prioritize projects that improve water quality and increase recreational access and use of lakes, including projects to control nutrient levels and prevent harmful algal blooms.
