Bill overview
This bill modifies the Coastal Barrier Resources Act to allow for the use of federal funds for shoreline borrow sites within the Coastal Barrier Resources System, under specific circumstances. It creates an exemption to a previous restriction that prohibited federal funding for these sites. Specifically, the exemption applies if the borrow site has been actively used for coastal storm risk management projects for more than 15 years. This change aims to facilitate ongoing coastal protection efforts while respecting the goals of the Coastal Barrier Resources Act.
