Align the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act with federal credit rules

“Clarify the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act to ensure consistent application with other federal infrastructure loan programs under the Federal Credit Reform Act. This should be done to foster opportunities for locally led investment in water infrastructure.”
What has happened
- Not started
The Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act has not been amended to align it with the Federal Credit Reform Act. One bill in the 119th Congress addresses the statute — H.R. 6229, the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act Amendments of 2025, whose latest action is referral to the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment on 2025-11-22 — and referral is below the bottom rung of the Requires-Congress ladder. No provision on WIFIA appears among the 104 public laws of the 119th Congress; the Federal Register corpus for the window carries no rule or notice aligning the program with the Federal Credit Reform Act; and no administration request for the change appears in Interior's press releases.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
