Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Introduced March 5, 2025 by Don Davis · Last progress 1 year ago
Expands USDA’s emergency watershed work so it can fund not just quick fixes after floods, but also longer‑lasting, cost‑effective restoration when that better protects the watershed and fits environmental risks. Orders a nationwide report on how floods affect agriculture and what conservation steps reduce damage.
Updates watershed project rules by raising the maximum federal cost share for eligible rehabilitation projects from 65% to 90%, making it easier for local sponsors to afford repairs and resilience upgrades.
