Brownfields Reauthorization Act of 2025

# Brownfields Reauthorization Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Brownfields Reauthorization Act of 2025 would extend and update the federal government's brownfields program. Brownfields are abandoned or underused industrial and commercial properties that may be contaminated with hazardous substances. This bill would reauthorize funding and authorities for cleaning up these sites and returning them to productive use, likely updating the program to address current environmental and economic challenges. **Who It Affects** The bill would impact cities and states with contaminated industrial properties, property developers and businesses interested in redevelopment projects, environmental cleanup companies, and communities near brownfield sites.

By cleaning up these properties, the bill aims to improve public health and create opportunities for local economic development. **Current Status** As of now, HR 6432 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kansas).
