This bill authorizes the federal Chesapeake Bay Program Office to formally join Maryland's Whole Watershed Program and similar state programs as an advisory member. The legislation allows the Program Office to coordinate with state, local, and federal agencies while providing technical assistance and financial support for environmental projects within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This change aims to strengthen federal involvement in Maryland's watershed management efforts by enabling the existing federal office to play a more active advisory role alongside state leadership. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, instead modifying existing authority of the Chesapeake Bay Program Office to expand its participation in state-level watershed initiatives.
