Local Water Protection Act

HR 7376, the Local Water Protection Act, amends an existing provision in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to extend the funding period for state nonpoint source management programs from fiscal years 2023-2027 to 2027-2031. This change directly affects states and local agencies that administer these programs, which address pollution from diffuse sources like agricultural runoff. The bill makes a procedural adjustment to the program's timeline without altering its core requirements or creating new policy.
