HR 2030 United States House · 119th Congress

Maintaining Cooperative Permitting Act of 2025

This bill protects three specific state programs that handle permits for dredged or fill material in waterways under the Clean Water Act. It prohibits the EPA from withdrawing approval of Michigan's, New Jersey's, and Florida's existing programs without new congressional authorization, preventing the EPA from revoking them through standard administrative processes. The bill also creates a 90-day transition period for Florida to continue issuing permits during a program review and allows other states to seek similar approval if their programs are deemed comparable. It does not change environmental standards but ensures these cooperative state-federal arrangements remain intact unless Congress acts.
