To waive certain requirements under section 306018 of title 54, United States Code, with respect to undertakings to upgrade public water systems and treatment works.

# HR 6353 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would waive certain federal requirements related to upgrading public water systems and treatment facilities. Specifically, it targets requirements under section 306018 of federal law, which deals with "undertakings" (federal projects or activities) involving water infrastructure. If passed, the bill would allow water system upgrades to proceed without meeting some of these current regulatory requirements. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect municipalities, water districts, and other public entities responsible for operating water systems and treatment plants. It could also impact federal agencies that oversee these projects.

The specific effects depend on which requirements are waived and how states and localities use this flexibility. **Current Status:** HR 6353 was introduced by Representative Stephanie Bice (R-OK) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill has not advanced further in the legislative process. --- *Note: The bill's technical language makes it difficult to specify exactly which requirements would be waived without additional documentation. For complete details, interested parties should consult the full bill text.*.
