Allows coastal recreation water-quality grants to be used to identify specific sources of contamination near beaches and in nearby shallow waters used by the public, and extends the program's authorized funding years to fiscal 2025–2029. Directs the EPA to update its guidance to States and local governments receiving those grants so the guidance reflects newer and innovative testing technologies for detecting water contamination.
