This bill adds Moodna Creek in Orange County to the state's official list of waterways eligible for waterfront revitalization programs. It directly affects communities along Moodna Creek by expanding their access to state-funded initiatives focused on improving waterway infrastructure, ecology, and public use.

This change enables Orange County communities to participate in existing revitalization efforts without creating new programs or funding streams.
