Bill > HR1265

This bill amends the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act to expand eligibility for wastewater infrastructure and trash-free waters grants by making two key changes to the existing law. First, the bill adds "States" as eligible entities for these grants, specifically inserting the term before "municipalities" and before "units of local government" in the original text. Second, the bill makes a minor grammatical adjustment by inserting a comma before the phrase "or Indian Tribes" in the grant eligibility language. The Save Our Seas 2.0 Act is a piece of environmental legislation focused on addressing marine debris and improving water infrastructure, and this amendment broadens the potential recipients of grants by explicitly including state governments alongside municipalities, local government units, and Indian Tribes. By expanding the list of eligible entities, the bill aims to provide more opportunities for different levels of government to access funding for wastewater and marine debris reduction projects.
