LCBP Enhancements Act of 2026

This bill changes federal law for the Patrick Leahy Lake Champlain Basin Program. It replaces the named New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission with a "fiscal agent" that the program's Steering Committee and the EPA Administrator would jointly select. They would review the fiscal agent at least every 5 years, may pick a new one through a competitive process, and must report findings to Congress within 90 days of each review. The bill also allows the U.S. Section of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission to fund and support fisheries, sea lamprey control, and invasive species work in the Lake Champlain area. It extends the program's funding authorization end year from 2027 to 2032.
