What it does
The bill amends the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 to require payment and performance security for projects receiving federal assistance under the program. It mandates that the Secretary or Administrator ensure such security is in place, either by relying on state or local laws that require at least 50% of the construction contract amount in security, or by imposing federal bond requirements if state or local standards are insufficient or absent. This aims to protect subcontractors and taxpayers by reducing the risk of nonpayment or project failure in water infrastructure projects funded through WIFIA.
