AI Summary
This bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996 to reauthorize certain grant programs that provide assistance to colonias, which are low-income communities along the U.S.-Mexico border that lack access to basic infrastructure. Specifically, it expands the definition of "covered entities" eligible for drinking water and wastewater assistance grants to include border states and local governments with jurisdiction over eligible communities. It also increases the authorized funding for these grant programs from $25 million to $100 million per year from 2022 to 2026. Additionally, the bill establishes a new Colonias State of Good Repair Grant Program to assist with the repair and maintenance of surface infrastructure in these underserved communities.
