Extends estuary clean water program; adds Mississippi Sound.
This bill would extend a national program that protects coastal areas for five more years, until the government's budget year (October to September) 2031. It would also add Mississippi Sound, Mississippi, to this program. However, Mississippi Sound would have temporary funding rules for the government's budget years (October to September) 2025 and 2026.
Today, the National Estuary Program has official approval through the government's budget year (October to September) 2026, and Mississippi Sound is not eligible for it. If this bill becomes law, the program would have official approval through the government's budget year (October to September) 2031, and Mississippi Sound would become eligible, though it would face specific funding restrictions for its first two years in the program.
