The resolution proposes the approval of United States H.R. 5966, known as the Ohio River Restoration Program Act, which aims to enhance the quality of the Ohio River and provide various benefits to West Virginia. The Ohio River, which spans 981 miles and significantly impacts West Virginia, is currently one of the most polluted rivers in the United States. The resolution highlights the river's importance for transportation, drinking water, and recreational opportunities for approximately 700,000 residents in the state.

H.R. 5966 seeks to establish the Ohio River Basin Restoration Program, focusing on improving water quality, increasing flood resilience, restoring natural habitats, controlling invasive species, and enhancing public access and education regarding the river. The resolution emphasizes that the restoration efforts will lead to cleaner water, economic growth, infrastructure improvements, and expanded recreational activities for West Virginians. The House of Delegates resolves to support this initiative and directs the Clerk to send a copy of the resolution to West Virginia's congressional delegation.
