This bill would change the federal water infrastructure loan program (WIFIA) so any construction project that uses this funding must have payment and performance protections. In simple terms, projects need financial protections in place to help make sure workers and suppliers get paid and the job gets finished, which aims to protect subcontractors and taxpayers.

Who is affected: Cities and water agencies that use WIFIA financing, and the contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who work on those projects.
What changes: To qualify, a project must have payment and performance security. If state or local law already requires this and it covers at least 50% of the total construction contract amount, that counts. If not, the project must meet federal payment and performance rules in 40 U.S.C. 3131(b).
Where it applies: Projects that receive assistance through the WIFIA program.
When: The provided text does not include an effective date.
