This legislation aims to ensure the continued operation of the Columbia River Basin Restoration program. Its primary objective is to reauthorize this vital program, which is dedicated to addressing pollution and improving water quality within the Columbia River Basin. To achieve this, the bill specifically amends section 123(d)(6) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The amendment extends the program's authorization for appropriations, changing the previously designated fiscal years of 2020 and 2021 to cover the period from fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2030 . This reauthorization provides a renewed five-year funding window for restoration efforts in the basin.
