House Passes Water Resources Development Act 384-37

"Water Resources Development Act also would improve management of the nation’s waterways, and fund flood control and coastal resiliency projects."

"The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed the Water Resources Development Act of 2022, which would further Everglades Restoration efforts, as well as improve management of the nation’s waterways, and fund flood control and coastal resiliency projects.

The bill, which was approved 384-37, now heads to the U.S. Senate.

The passage comes on the same day that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed a measure tied to Everglades restoration, saying the legislation have stalled restoration and added "redundant regulatory hurdles" to fixing the historic river of grass."
