Maintaining Cooperative Permitting Act of 2025

This bill prevents the EPA from revoking state programs that handle permits for dredged or fill material in waterways without new congressional approval. It specifically protects existing programs in Michigan (approved 1984), New Jersey (1994), and Florida (2020), ensuring these states can continue administering their own permitting systems. The bill requires the EPA to notify states and the Army Corps if a new state program is deemed comparable to the protected ones, triggering a shift to state oversight. A 90-day transition period is included for Florida to maintain permit issuance during implementation. The law aims to preserve state authority over these environmental permits without federal interference.
