This legislation, known as the "Restoring WIFIA Eligibility Act," proposes an amendment to the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 (WIFIA). Its primary goal is to clarify the budgetary treatment of certain financial assistance provided under the WIFIA program. Specifically, the bill stipulates that if a non-Federal entity receives WIFIA financial assistance for a project, and the repayment sources are exclusively non-Federal, then this assistance will be considered non-Federal for budgetary purposes. Consequently, such financial assistance will be treated as a direct loan or loan guarantee as defined by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, potentially impacting how these projects are scored and funded.
Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Referred to the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.
