Revolving Fund Bill Expected In Spring; Potential Seen For Utilities To Trim Energy Use

摘要

A House subcommittee chairman said Feb. 4 she plans to "expeditiously move" legislation to reauthorize the clean water state revolving fund program and to report a bill to the House floor before the spring congressional recess in April.rnRep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas), chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment, said the bill would be similar to the Water Quality Financing Act (H.R. 720) passed by the House of Representatives in 2007 in the 110th Congress. Comparable legislation failed to clear the Senate (38 ER 625, 3/16/07).
