Referred to the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.
This bill updates existing law to extend statutory authorization periods for Long Island Sound grant programs. It changes the authorization years from 2019–2023 to 2025–2029 for both Clean Water Act Section 119 grants and the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act grants.
Whether reauthorization alone is sufficient or too modest
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise procedural/housekeeping measure that precisely amends statutory text to extend authorization years and correct a paragraph designation; its drafting is specific where required and sparse where appropriate for a narrow extension.
