## Summary

**Fixes the IIJA stormwater Centers of Excellence at five sites and requires one center to focus on the Great Lakes.** The bill would also extend the centers' authorized funding window to fiscal years 2027 through 2031. - Great Lakes communities: One center would be located in and focused on the Great Lakes region, steering research and technology toward local stormwater problems and resilience needs. - Research institutions and universities: The program would be fixed at exactly five Centers of Excellence, which limits how many institutions can host a center and shape competition for IIJA program support. - Federal program and funding timeline: The bill would move the authorization period for these centers to fiscal years 2027 through 2031, extending the window for appropriations without changing funding amounts.
