To amend title 40, United States Code, to include Ontario County in the region covered by the Northern Border Regional Commission, and for other purposes.
This bill adds Ontario County, New York, to the list of counties covered by the Northern Border Regional Commission under federal law. It directly affects residents and local officials in Ontario County by expanding their access to the commission's economic development programs and federal funding. The key mechanism is a simple update to the geographic boundaries listed in Title 40 of the U.S. Code, inserting "Ontario" after "Oneida" in the commission's authorized region. This change ensures Ontario County qualifies for the commission's support without altering existing programs or creating new requirements.
