What it actually does

This Act extends the authorization for federal funding dedicated to monitoring, assessing, and researching the Great Lakes Basin.

prominently featuredstraightforward

This provision amends Section 201(d) of title II of division P of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, which is codified at 16 U.S.C. 941h(d). The amendment strikes the year "2025" and inserts "2030," thereby extending the authorization for appropriations to monitor, assess, and research the Great Lakes Basin for an additional five fiscal years. This ensures that federal agencies and research institutions can continue their work on Great Lakes fishery health and ecosystem management through 2030.
