Decoded
What does this do?
HR 7376 updates the Clean Water Act's nonpoint source pollution program, which funds efforts to reduce runoff from farms, streets, construction sites, and lawns. The bill extends the funding authorization period from fiscal year 2027 to fiscal years 2027 through 2031. It does not create new programs or change existing rules.
Who does it affect?
State and local governments that receive these federal grants for water quality projects are directly affected, including those managing agricultural runoff and stormwater. Farmers, developers, municipalities, and residents who benefit from cleaner water sources are indirectly involved.
Why does it matter?
Because the bill only reauthorizes funding rather than guaranteeing it, actual money available still depends on future congressional appropriations decisions.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Extends funding authorization to fiscal 2031
- No new dollar amount set
- Actual funding depends on appropriations
