To amend the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act to expand eligibility for certain wastewater infrastructure grants, and for other purposes.
This bill expands eligibility for wastewater infrastructure grants under the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act. It allows states and Indian Tribes to directly apply for these grants - previously, only municipalities and local governments could apply. The changes specifically update two sections of the law to include "States," before "municipalities" and "units of local government" in grant application criteria. This means coastal states and tribal governments can now seek funding to improve wastewater systems and reduce ocean pollution. The policy change directly affects communities managing coastal water infrastructure seeking federal grant support.
