establishing a local river management advisory committee grant program and making an appropriation therefor.

HB 624 establishes a state grant program providing funding to local river management advisory committees. These committees, formed at the community level to address river-related issues like water quality and flood prevention, would receive financial support through the new program. The bill includes a specific state budget appropriation to fund these grants. It directly affects communities with river management needs by creating a dedicated funding source for their advisory efforts.
