Modernizes clean water allotments by adjusting the formula for distributing funds to states.

The Clean Water Allotment Modernization Act of 2026 amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to change how funds are distributed to states for clean water initiatives. It establishes a new formula for allotments based on population and poverty levels, while also setting aside funds for Buy American oversight and Indian tribes. The Act also allows states to use a portion of their capitalization grants for clean watersheds needs surveys. The changes aim to ensure a more equitable distribution of funds while maintaining oversight and support for specific needs.
