Source: Congress.gov · 327 words in original text

What This Bill Does

This bill extends the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act by changing when certain authorities end and when money for the program can be used. The bill updates the existing law to provide funding through a new date rather than the previous deadline.

Who It Affects

The bill affects agencies and organizations working on Lake Tahoe restoration projects under the existing Lake Tahoe Restoration Act.

Key Provisions

• The period for cooperative authorities (working together between agencies) now runs from when this bill becomes law until September 30, 2034 instead of the previous deadline (Sec. 2(a)) • Money for the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act remains available to be spent until September 30, 2034 (Sec. 2(b))

What Changes

The bill removes an old time limit that said cooperative work would last for four fiscal years after the Water Resources Development Act of 2016. It replaces this with a new deadline of September 30, 2034 for both the cooperative authorities and the availability of money.
