Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a federal partnership program to help Maryland protect and restore its watersheds—the areas of land where water drains into rivers, streams, and the Chesapeake Bay. The program would likely provide funding and coordination between federal agencies and Maryland to improve water quality, protect natural habitats, and manage pollution across entire watershed regions rather than just individual waterways. This would affect Maryland residents, farmers, businesses, and environmental organizations working on water conservation and pollution reduction.
