What it does
This bill extends money for research centers that study stormwater control. It sets the number of centers at five instead of letting it change. It extends funding from 2022–2026 to 2027–2031. One center must be in the Great Lakes region and focus on that area.
Who it affects
Universities and research groups that run the centers will get money. Companies that work on stormwater technology may partner with the centers.
One thing to notice
The bill does not say how much money the centers will get. Congress must pass a separate bill to give them actual dollars.
