The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Making Access To Cleanup Happen Act of 2025 (or MATCH Act), is to improve the process for emergency watershed protection measures. Specifically, it aims to allow state and local governments, as well as Indian Tribes, to incur certain costs before officially entering into an agreement with the federal government for disaster recovery efforts. This change is intended to streamline the response to natural disasters and enhance the ability of communities to manage emergency situations effectively.
