Clean Water SRF Parity Act of 2025
Plain Language Summary
# Clean Water SRF Parity Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Does** The Clean Water SRF Parity Act of 2025 would modify federal financing programs for water infrastructure projects. "SRF" stands for State Revolving Fund, which is a federal program that provides loans to states and communities for drinking water and wastewater treatment system upgrades. This bill appears designed to create equal treatment or comparable funding levels between different types of water infrastructure projects under these federal loan programs. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would primarily affect state and local governments, water utilities, and communities that rely on federal financing to upgrade aging water pipes, treatment facilities, and sewage systems. Residents could benefit through improved water quality and system reliability.
However, without the bill's full text being publicly available, the specific provisions and which infrastructure types would receive adjusted funding levels cannot be detailed here. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House. Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL) is the sponsor. The bill would need to pass committee review, House floor debate and approval, Senate passage, and presidential signature to become law.
