What this amendment would do

SA 3200, submitted by Mr. Booker and Mr. Tuberville, aims to change the funding amounts for specific programs under the Rural Utilities Service within the rural water and waste disposal program account.

  • The rural utilities program described in section 306E of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act will be $6,500,000. At least $1,500,000 of that must be used for subgrants to eligible individuals for servicing, refurbishing, and constructing individually owned household decentralized wastewater systems.

  • Grants under section 306(a)(2)(a) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act will be $238,900,000.
