Urban Waters Federal Partnership Act of 2023

S 702, the Urban Waters Federal Partnership Act of 2023, establishes a federal program to coordinate multiple agencies (including EPA, Interior, Agriculture, and others) in supporting waterway projects in urban communities. It creates "Urban Waters partnership locations" in overburdened or economically distressed cities, where federally designated "Urban Waters ambassadors" coordinate local projects focused on water quality, habitat, recreation, and community engagement. The program authorizes $10 million annually (2024-2028) for technical assistance, funding, and coordination, requiring agencies to share progress via annual reports to Congress. It directly affects urban communities through enhanced federal agency collaboration on water-related initiatives.
