The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6799, aims to amend the general statutes to establish guidelines for edible riparian buffers along wetlands and watercourses in the state. The bill is introduced by several representatives and is referred to the Committee on Environment. The primary purpose of the bill is to promote environmental health, agricultural sustainability, and food security through the management of these edible buffers.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new legal language that outlines the guidelines for managing edible riparian buffers. By implementing these guidelines, the bill seeks to enhance the ecological integrity of wetlands and watercourses while also providing opportunities for sustainable agricultural practices.
