The Upper Raritan River Watershed Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2025 was introduced in the Senate. It directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study to determine if certain parts of the Upper Raritan River qualify for protection under the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
Why it matters: This is an administrative step used to gather data before any actual land or water protection laws are passed. It allows the government to decide if the river deserves federal status as a protected scenic waterway.
