Bill > HR288

This bill reauthorizes and extends funding for two key Long Island Sound environmental programs from 2025 through 2029. Specifically, the bill amends two existing pieces of legislation: the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act of 2006. The changes update the authorization periods for Long Island Sound grants, which provide federal funding for environmental restoration, protection, and research efforts in the Long Island Sound region. The bill also includes a technical amendment that involves redesignating a paragraph in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. By extending these grant programs, the legislation ensures continued federal support for environmental stewardship and conservation efforts in the Long Island Sound ecosystem for the next five years, helping to protect and maintain this important coastal and marine environment.
