Puerto Rico Water Infrastructure Resilience Act

H.R. 7397, the Puerto Rico Water Infrastructure Resilience Act, is a bill introduced by Representative Pablo José Hernández (D-PR) that would address water infrastructure challenges in Puerto Rico. The bill focuses on water resources development and aims to enhance the resilience of Puerto Rico's water systems.
