Updated: May 14, 2025

Summary

The "Restoring WIFIA Eligibility Act of 2025" proposes an amendment to the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 (WIFIA) to address the budgetary treatment of financial assistance. This amendment clarifies how certain WIFIA funds are accounted for under federal budget rules. Under the bill, if financial assistance is provided to an eligible entity that is not a federal agency and its repayment comes from non-federal revenue sources, that assistance will be deemed non-Federal . Consequently, for budgetary purposes under the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, it will be treated as a direct loan or loan guarantee , ensuring consistent financial classification for these infrastructure projects.
