H.R. 1265 modifies the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act to broaden who can apply for federal wastewater infrastructure and trash-free waters grants. Currently, these grants are available to municipalities, units of local government, and Indian Tribes, but the bill adds states as direct eligible applicants. This change affects state governments, local municipalities, and tribal governments that manage wastewater systems and work to reduce ocean and waterway pollution. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or timelines in the text provided—it simply expands the existing grant program's eligibility to include state-level applicants alongside local and tribal governments. This allows states to compete directly for grants to improve wastewater infrastructure and reduce marine debris.
