The bill asks the Secretary of the Interior to check out the Deerfield River, which is in Massachusetts and Vermont, to see if it's special enough to be protected like other important rivers. They'll look at the whole river and write a report about it for Congress in three years.

The Deerfield River Wild and Scenic River Study Act wants to check if the Deerfield River and its nearby streams in Massachusetts and Vermont are special enough to be protected by the government as wild and scenic. To do this, a big study will be done, and people will look carefully at the river to decide if it needs to be added to a list of very important and beautiful rivers.
