Plain-English Summary

The EPA would be required to change how it manages state revolving funds, which are federal loan programs that help states and communities pay for drinking water infrastructure projects like pipes and treatment plants. These changes would likely make it easier or faster for local governments to access money to fix aging water systems and improve water quality for residents. The bill is currently under review by the Senate's environmental committee.
