This bill would widen who can get federal grants to improve wastewater systems and cut trash in rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. It updates a section of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act so more applicants can qualify for these cleanup and infrastructure funds, helping communities keep waterways cleaner and safer.

Key points

• Who is affected: Communities and projects seeking funding to fix wastewater systems and reduce trash in local waters.
• What changes: Expands eligibility for certain wastewater infrastructure and “trash‑free waters” grants, so more groups can apply.
• When: Would take effect if and when it becomes law.
