Protect Families from Toxic Algal Blooms Act
This bill amends the Water Resources Development Act of 2020 to create a new provision allowing the Secretary of the Army Corps of Engineers to partner with water and irrigation districts in designated areas. Specifically, it authorizes the Secretary to enter agreements with these districts for the use or sale of new technologies developed through a demonstration program, aimed at speeding up the removal of harmful algal blooms. The key mechanism focuses on facilitating the deployment of innovative solutions to address algal blooms in targeted regions. This directly affects water management districts operating in areas identified as high-priority for bloom mitigation under the existing law.
