HR 132 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Western Water Accelerated Revenue Repayment Act
To amend the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act to extend certain contract prepayment authority.
Summary
This bill amends the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act to modify how certain water project funds are accounted for and directed. The bill allows certain offsets and water storage funds that are designated by existing project-specific statutes to go to accounts other than the General Reclamation Fund. It extends prepayment authority under the existing law to include section 4011 of the WIIN Act. These technical amendments affect how western water projects handle payments and accounting for water infrastructure funding.
