Bill overview
The MATCH Act of 2020 aims to improve the USDA’s Emergency Watershed Protection Program by allowing states, local governments, and Native American tribes to request and incur costs for emergency watershed protection measures *before* finalizing agreements with the USDA. This bill directs the USDA to create a process for reviewing and considering these pre-agreement costs when determining project funding. It also establishes that sponsors – these entities – are responsible for the financial risk associated with undertaking these measures prior to formal agreements.
