Bill > HR4417

This bill, titled the Essex River Jobs and Recreation Act, deauthorizes, meaning it officially ends the authorization for, specific parts of a project designed for navigation on the Essex River in Massachusetts. The project was originally authorized by older laws, including the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1899. The bill specifies that only the portions of the project that fall within a precisely defined geographical area, described by a series of coordinates, will remain authorized; all other parts of the project will no longer be legally recognized as authorized starting from the date the bill becomes law.
