The bill creates the Sustainable Bicol River Development Authority, a new government body that will plan and oversee flood control, water supply, tourism, and other projects in the Bicol River basin. It will have its own budget, tax‑exempt status, and the power to approve or reject local projects, issue permits and enter into public‑private partnerships. The authority will be run by a 13‑member board made up of provincial governors, regional agency heads and private sector representatives.
