Could go either way

The bill has bipartisan support and builds on an existing program, but it is in the early stages of the committee process.

Key Points

This bill extends funding for special research centers that study how to manage stormwater and prevent flooding. It keeps these programs running from 2027 through 2031.
The plan requires the government to run exactly five of these centers across the country. One of these centers must be located in the Great Lakes region to focus on the specific water issues in that area.
These centers help cities and towns find better ways to handle heavy rain and runoff. By using new technology, they aim to keep water clean and protect communities from flood damage.
This bill builds on a previous infrastructure law to ensure that scientists and engineers can keep working on long term solutions for water pollution and drainage problems.
