Bill overview

The Modernizing Access to Our Public Waters Act aims to improve public access to information about federal waterways. It directs the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior to create standardized data on restrictions, access points, and fishing regulations for these waters. The bill requires agencies to digitize and publicly share this data online, updating it regularly, and establish a process for public feedback. Ultimately, the goal is to make it easier for Americans to understand and enjoy recreational use of federal waterways.
