Nulhegan River and Paul Stream Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2023

This bill authorizes a study to evaluate whether Vermont's Nulhegan River (22 miles) and Paul Stream (18 miles) should be designated as protected Wild and Scenic Rivers. It specifically adds these two river segments - including their associated tributaries - to the list of areas eligible for study under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to complete the study within three years of funding and submit a report to Congress detailing the findings. The study itself is the only immediate action; it does not protect the rivers or change current management, but could lead to future protections if recommended.
