Bill overview
This bill, H.3047, aimed to restore and replenish the Harbors and Inland Waters Maintenance Fund, which provides resources for dredging, shoreline protection, and other vital maintenance activities for Massachusetts’ waterways. The fund had been significantly underfunded in recent years, leading to deferred maintenance and potential environmental concerns. The bill sought to establish a dedicated funding stream to address these issues and ensure the long-term health of the state’s coastal and inland resources. Ultimately, the bill failed to pass.
