What this bill does
- The bill lets states, local governments, and tribes start emergency watershed protection work before signing agreements with USDA.
- It affects sponsors of flood and disaster prevention projects who want to begin work immediately during emergencies.
- USDA must create a list of eligible pre-agreement activities and count those costs toward the sponsor's required project contribution.
