Plain-English Summary
The federal government would coordinate efforts to restore and protect the Connecticut River Watershed, which spans five states, by working with local communities and agencies to improve water quality, wildlife habitat, and natural resources in the region. This would affect residents, businesses, and environmental groups in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont who depend on or care about the river's health. The bill aims to address pollution, flooding, and ecosystem damage through a unified regional approach rather than having each state work separately.
