ESTUARIES Act of 2025

The ESTUARIES Act of 2025 amends Section 320(i)(1) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1330(i)(1)) to extend the National Estuary Program's authorization period from 2026 to 2031. This change directly affects the National Estuary Program, a federal initiative supporting the protection and restoration of estuaries across the United States. The key provision is a simple year adjustment in the law, altering the program's existing timeline without adding new requirements or funding. The bill focuses solely on updating the program's authorization deadline, with no additional policy changes described in the provided context.
