Sponsored By: Representative LaLota, Nick [R-NY-1]

In Committee

Summary

Reauthorizes Long Island Sound grant authorities for 2025–2029. This bill would extend the existing Long Island Sound (LIS) Grants and LIS Stewardship Grants into a new 2025–2029 authorization window and make a minor technical fix to a statutory cross-reference.

Show full summary
  • State and local partners along Long Island Sound would continue to be eligible to apply for federal restoration grants through 2025–2029, allowing ongoing projects to seek support.
  • Conservation organizations and researchers would retain access to Stewardship Grants that fund local restoration, education, and monitoring work during the same 2025–2029 period.
  • Agencies and program administrators would get a small statutory clarification by redesignating a paragraph in the LIS provisions, helping keep the law's cross-references consistent.
