According to a press release shared by U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito’s, R-W.Va., office, the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of the America’s Conservation Enhancement Act, or ACE Act, legislation she cosponsored in the Senate is now headed to President Donald Trump’s office for his signature.
The bill includes language from the Chesapeake Bay Program Reauthorization Act and the Chesapeake WILD Act, two bipartisan bills Senator Capito sponsored to support habitat restoration and conservation efforts in the Chesapeake Bay region, according to the release.
The Chesapeake Bay Program Reauthorization Act, as explained by the release, is one portion of the overall ACE Act, which would provide $90 million in the fiscal year 2020 with a $500,000 increase each year for the five years authorized and would go directly toward states within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed – West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York and Washington D.C.
