Budget scoring for non-federal water loans

This bill would change how some water infrastructure loans are counted in the federal budget. If enacted, WIFIA assistance to eligible, non‑Federal borrowers would be treated as non‑Federal for budget scoring when repayment comes from dedicated non‑Federal revenue. The loans would be scored as direct loans or loan guarantees under the Federal Credit Reform Act. This is an accounting and budget classification change, not a change to who can borrow or to loan repayment terms. If passed, this could indirectly affect availability for local water projects, but the practical effect is uncertain.
