Federal HB1285 establishes payment and performance security requirements for water infrastructure projects.
Federal HB1285, the Water Infrastructure Subcontractor and Taxpayer Protection Act of 2025, amends the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014. It mandates that projects receiving assistance must have payment and performance security. The Secretary or Administrator must ensure these securities are in place. If state or local laws require such securities, they must be at least 50% of the total construction contract amount. This bill aims to protect subcontractors and taxpayers by ensuring financial safeguards for water infrastructure projects.
