Bill > HR6432

This bill amends the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) to reauthorize and expand brownfields revitalization funding. Brownfields are properties where environmental contamination may complicate redevelopment, typically former industrial or commercial sites. The bill increases the maximum grant amount for individual site remediation from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and raises the total annual funding for brownfields programs from $200 million to $250 million for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. Additionally, the bill modifies language related to state response programs, expanding their ability to not just maintain and enhance existing programs, but also to implement new environmental response initiatives. These changes aim to support local and state efforts to clean up and redevelop contaminated properties, potentially promoting economic development and environmental restoration in communities with abandoned or underutilized industrial sites.
