Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the federal Clean Water Act rules for state revolving funds, which states use to pay for water projects with federal grants. It would require each state to use at least 20 percent of its federal capitalization grant money for projects involving green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency improvements, or other environmentally innovative activities. This requirement applies only to the extent that states receive enough eligible project applications. It would take effect on the date the bill becomes law.
