To amend the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 to direct the Commandant of the Coast Guard to provide certain data related to water quality, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 hr 1452, also known as the Water Quality Data Act, seeks to amend the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 in order to require the Commandant of the Coast Guard to provide specific data related to water quality. The purpose of this legislation is to improve the monitoring and reporting of water quality in order to better protect public health and the environment.

The bill mandates that the Commandant of the Coast Guard collect and report data on water quality parameters such as bacteria levels, chemical contaminants, and other pollutants in navigable waters. This data will be used to assess the overall health of water bodies and identify potential sources of pollution.

Additionally, the Water Quality Data Act aims to enhance coordination between federal, state, and local agencies in monitoring and addressing water quality issues. By requiring the Commandant of the Coast Guard to provide this data, policymakers and stakeholders will have access to valuable information to inform decision-making and prioritize resources for water quality improvement efforts. Overall, the passage of Bill 118 hr 1452 would represent a significant step towards ensuring clean and safe water for all Americans, as well as protecting the health of aquatic ecosystems.
