Lets the government restore disaster-hit areas to be healthier than before.
This bill allows the Secretary of Agriculture to restore watersheds after disasters. Instead of just returning them to their previous state, the Secretary can make them healthier and more protected for the long term.
If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Agriculture would be able to approve restorations that improve the long-term health and protection of watersheds. This means the Secretary could allow restoration efforts to go beyond their pre-disaster condition.
