Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that clean water is a national priority and that the April 21, 2020, Navigable Waters Protection Rule should not be withdrawn or vacated.

House Resolution 318 is a non-binding proposal that expresses the House of Representatives' support for maintaining the 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule. This rule established a narrower definition of which bodies of water fall under federal jurisdiction, generally excluding ephemeral streams and certain wetlands from federal permitting requirements. If supported, this resolution would signal a preference for keeping these specific regulatory boundaries in place rather than returning to broader federal oversight of local waterways.
