Wetland restoration and protection state goal setting provision
This bill sets a state goal to restore or permanently protect at least 1 million acres of lost or degraded wetlands by 2050. It requires state agencies administering grants or discretionary funds to prioritize wetland restoration projects in counties that have lost over 50% of their prestatehood wetlands. Agencies must report annually on progress, including specific areas restored, future opportunities, and obstacles to meeting the goal, starting in 2027. The policy directly affects state agencies managing environmental funding and counties with significant historical wetland loss.
