Tribal Access to Clean Water Act of 2023

S 2385, the Tribal Access to Clean Water Act of 2023, provides federal funding to improve clean water access for Native American and Native Hawaiian communities. It authorizes $100 million annually (2024-2028) through the USDA for water infrastructure projects, $30 million for technical assistance to help tribes access funding, and $100 million annually for operation/maintenance of water facilities. The bill directly affects tribes and Native Hawaiian communities where nearly half lack reliable water access, addressing gaps in existing infrastructure funding. Key provisions include no requirement for matching funds, prioritization for communities most in need, and long-term maintenance support for completed projects.
