Broadens the San Francisco Bay restoration program so funding can flow through cooperative agreements, contracts, and other mechanisms, not only grants, and bars recipients tied to foreign countries of concern.

• Lets the program's Director fund projects, activities, and studies through cooperative agreements, grants, interagency agreements, contracts, or other mechanisms, including to the San Francisco Estuary Partnership.
• Caps federal funding to non-federal recipients at 75 percent of project cost, so at least 25 percent must come from non-federal sources.
• Bars non-federal recipients that are based in or organized under the laws of a foreign country of concern, or that have an agreement, partnership, or relationship with one.
• Removes the word "grant" from the section heading and sets out the new funding terms in subsection (e).
