To authorize the International Boundary and Water Commission to accept funds for activities relating to wastewater treatment and flood control works, and for other purposes.

What this bill does

  • The bill authorizes the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission to accept funds for wastewater treatment, water conservation, and flood control projects with Mexico.
  • The USIBWC, a federal agency managing U.S.-Mexico water treaties, can now receive nonfederal funding for these cross-border infrastructure activities.
  • Nonfederal contributions are capped at $5 million per fiscal year, and funds cannot come from entities linked to China, North Korea, Russia, or Iran.
