Plain-language change summary

The revised version of Bill HR 77 adds more detail regarding the collaboration between Illinois and Michigan on the Brandon Road Interbasin Project (BRIP) and the financial contributions each state has made to combat the threat of invasive carp. It also specifies the postponement of the project's first phase due to concerns over federal funding and includes a statement from President Trump emphasizing the importance of the project for the Great Lakes. These changes matter because they highlight the urgency and financial stakes involved in protecting the fishing industry and local ecosystems from invasive species.
