HR 5833 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.
To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act with respect to additional subsidization, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill would amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to increase subsidization requirements for state water pollution control revolving loan funds. States would be able to provide additional subsidies using either 50 percent of federal capitalization grants received or the average amount historically deposited from state funds over the prior decade, whichever is greater. The bill establishes a minimum requirement that states use at least 20 percent of capitalization grants for additional subsidization if sufficient applications are received. These subsidies are intended to help ratepayers maintain access to wastewater and stormwater treatment services.
