Federal-State Partnership for Clean Water Act of 2025

This bill would change the federal Clean Water Act to increase funding authority for two federal-state water programs. It would raise the yearly amount authorized for certain water pollution research and program grants from $75 million to $300 million for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. At least $100 million of that each year would go to states, interstate agencies, municipalities, and Indian tribes to protect, manage, or restore wetlands. The bill would also authorize $500 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for grants that help states run their water pollution control programs.
