This bill would make it easier for states to receive certain federal grants for wastewater infrastructure and trash-free water projects. Right now, some of these grants are focused on municipalities, local governments, and Indian Tribes. The bill would update the law so states are also clearly eligible to apply for the same kinds of funding. In simple terms, it broadens who can ask for money to help improve wastewater systems and reduce trash and pollution in waterways.
- It changes the grant rules so “States” are added to the list of eligible applicants for wastewater infrastructure and trash-free waters grants.
- It also adds States to another part of the law that deals with these infrastructure grants, making the eligibility language more complete and consistent.
- The bill does not create a new grant program; it mainly expands who can take part in the existing one.
