Highlight any text to annotate

The STORMWATER Act extends a federal program that funds centers of excellence focused on developing and improving stormwater control technologies and infrastructure. The bill increases the number of required centers from between three and five to exactly five centers nationwide, and adds a requirement that one center be specifically located in and dedicated to addressing stormwater challenges in the Great Lakes region. The legislation extends the authorization for this program from fiscal years 2022-2026 to fiscal years 2027-2031, effectively continuing federal funding for these research and development centers for an additional five-year period. The bill affects universities and research institutions that host or partner with these centers, as well as communities seeking improved stormwater management solutions. While the bill does not specify the exact dollar amounts, it authorizes continued appropriations for these centers through 2031.
