Summary of Bill S 795

Bill 119 s 795, also known as the "Prior Converted Cropland Exclusion Act," aims to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act by excluding prior converted cropland from being classified as "navigable waters." This bill seeks to clarify the definition of navigable waters by specifically excluding land that was previously converted for agricultural use.

The bill argues that prior converted cropland should not be subject to the same regulations and restrictions as traditional navigable waters, as it has already been altered for agricultural purposes. By excluding this type of land from the definition of navigable waters, the bill aims to reduce regulatory burdens on farmers and landowners who utilize prior converted cropland for agricultural activities.

In addition to excluding prior converted cropland from the definition of navigable waters, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to water pollution control. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary provided, but may include measures to improve water quality, protect natural habitats, or address other environmental concerns. Overall, Bill 119 s 795 seeks to provide clarity and relief for farmers and landowners who utilize prior converted cropland, while also addressing broader issues related to water pollution control. The bill is currently under consideration in the US Congress and may undergo further revisions before potentially becoming law.
