Water Resources Technical Assistance Review Act of 2025

This bill would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO), led by the Comptroller General, to begin a full review of the Environmental Protection Agency's technical assistance programs related to clean water infrastructure within one year of the law taking effect. The review would describe who receives this help, how the EPA's Water Technical Assistance initiative selects and matches assistance providers with communities, which communities received help and at what cost, and whether programs overlap. It would also look at unmet needs of economically distressed communities and coordination with other federal agencies. The GAO would report its findings and recommendations to the EPA and to committees in Congress. The EPA would then have to submit a plan within 90 days, and each year for the next 5 years, describing actions taken to follow the recommendations.
