Bill overview
This bill seeks to increase funding for the Indian Health Service’s Sanitation Facilities Construction Program. The program aims to improve sanitation infrastructure – including water, sewer, and solid waste disposal – in Native American and Alaska Native communities. Specifically, it requests $2.67 billion over five years (2020-2024) to address sanitation deficiencies highlighted in a 2018 report. The bill prioritizes projects based on the most pressing needs identified in that report.
