In brief

This bill authorizes $250 million for the Environmental Protection Agency to provide grants for environmental restoration and water quality projects in the San Francisco Bay through fiscal year 2030. It establishes a San Francisco Bay Program Office within the agency to coordinate these federal activities and requires the creation of a five-year priority plan for funding habitat restoration and pollution reduction. These measures affect local governments and organizations within the San Francisco Bay estuary. Regional Representative Jared Huffman (D-CA) introduced the legislation, which a House committee recently approved for further consideration.
