Bill > S781

This bill reauthorizes several important Long Island Sound environmental programs by extending their funding and authorization periods from 2019-2023 to 2025-2029. Specifically, the bill amends two key pieces of legislation: the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act of 2006. The changes will continue to provide grants for environmental restoration, protection, and stewardship of the Long Island Sound ecosystem. The bill also includes a technical amendment that involves renumbering a paragraph in the existing law. By extending these programs, the legislation ensures continued federal support for environmental conservation efforts in the Long Island Sound region, which is an ecologically significant coastal area in the northeastern United States. The reauthorization will allow ongoing research, conservation, and restoration projects to continue without interruption, maintaining environmental protection and scientific monitoring of this important marine ecosystem.
