Summary
What This Bill Does
Authorizes the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) to accept funds from federal and non-federal entities for wastewater treatment, water conservation, and flood control projects along the U.S.-Mexico border. Limits non-federal credit to $5 million per year.
