Concerning maintenance for salmon recovery projects.

This bill creates a dedicated "salmon recovery project maintenance account" in the state treasury, requiring that 1% of all funds allocated for salmon recovery projects be deposited into it for long-term upkeep. It mandates that all projects receiving funding must include a plan for ongoing maintenance to ensure habitat benefits last over time. The bill modifies existing funding rules to prioritize projects with strong maintenance plans and requires grant recipients to disclose how maintenance funds are spent. This ensures salmon habitat restoration efforts remain effective for decades, not just during initial construction.
