The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act of 2024 reauthorizes federal funding for cleanup and restoration efforts in the Great Lakes region. The bill extends and increases the program's budget to $500 million annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, supporting work to address pollution, invasive species, habitat degradation, and other environmental challenges in the lakes. This legislation affects Great Lakes states including Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and others, as well as communities that depend on the lakes for drinking water, fishing, and recreation. The bill was introduced by a bipartisan group of House representatives from Great Lakes states and was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for consideration.
