The "Define WOTUS Act" is a federal bill aimed at clarifying the definition of "Waters of the United States" (WOTUS) as used in the Clean Water Act. The main purpose of the bill is to provide a precise and limited interpretation of which bodies of water fall under federal jurisdiction for regulatory purposes. This legislation seeks to reduce ambiguity and ensure that only navigable waters and their tributaries are subject to federal regulations, giving more clarity to landowners, businesses, and regulators. The bill may impact environmental protection efforts by potentially narrowing the scope of waters protected under federal law.
