Land and Water Conservation Fund Water Amendments Act of 2025

This bill amends the Land and Water Conservation Fund program to allow federal funding for state-led water quality projects. It requires states to identify impaired water bodies under federal water law and include proposed restoration projects in their outdoor recreation plans. Funds can now support specific restoration efforts like wetlands, marshes, and living shorelines to improve water quality, but cannot reimburse completed projects or expand federal regulation over waterways. The bill directly affects states developing recreation plans and implementing water quality restoration under existing federal programs.
