To amend the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to provide additional assistance to rural water, wastewater, and waste disposal systems, and for other purposes.
Summary
H.R. 7530 would modify the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to increase federal support for water and wastewater systems serving rural communities. The bill aims to strengthen infrastructure in areas that often lack adequate resources for clean water access and proper waste management.
If enacted, this legislation could provide additional funding and assistance programs to help rural water districts, municipalities, and other entities improve or expand their water supply, wastewater treatment, and waste disposal facilities. Rural residents and communities would potentially benefit from improved access to reliable water services and better environmental protections.
The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the House in February 2026 and referred to committee. It has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
