DISPOSITION

ADOPTED

DEC 11, 2025

“On agreeing to the Peters amendment (A007) Agreed to by voice vote.”

what this changes

This amendment allows the International Boundary and Water Commission to accept outside money to help pay for sewage treatment and flood control projects. This is intended to provide more ways to fund and fix aging water infrastructure, particularly near the U.S. border.

WHY IT MATTERS

Border regions often struggle with sewage spills and aging water systems that are expensive to fix. Giving the federal commission the ability to accept state or local funds could speed up construction and repairs that protect public health.

WHO IS AFFECTED

People living near the U.S.-Mexico border are most directly affected, as improved wastewater treatment and flood control reduce the risk of water pollution and property damage in those communities.
