STORMWATER Act
The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (27 Aug 2026): Referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and in addition to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, 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.
What this bill does
H.R. 10162, the STORMWATER Act, would amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's provisions on centers of excellence for stormwater control infrastructure technologies. It would set the number of these centers at exactly 5 (current law allows for a range of 3 to 5), and require that one of the centers be located in, and focused on, the Great Lakes region. The bill also extends the program's authorization period and its authorization of appropriations, shifting the covered fiscal years from 2022–2026 to 2027–2031.
The bill primarily affects universities and research institutions that host or compete to host these federally supported centers, as well as federal agencies overseeing stormwater infrastructure research funding. Communities in the Great Lakes region would be specifically affected by the guaranteed placement of a center focused on their area. More broadly, the extension affects the continuity of federal support for research into stormwater management technology, which can influence infrastructure planning nationwide.
The bill was introduced in the House on August 27, 2026, by Rep. Timothy Kennedy of New York, with co-sponsors Rep. Dingell and Rep. Langworthy. It has been referred to the House Committees on Science, Space, and Technology and on Transportation and Infrastructure for consideration. As an introduced bill, it would need to be approved by these committees, pass the full House and Senate, and be signed by the President before becoming law.
