MORE WATER Act
Key claim: The MORE WATER Act (S3738) was ordered to be reported favorably with an amendment in the nature of a substitute by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Abstract
(S3738 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-29): Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
Why this matters
The MORE WATER Act advances water resources legislation through committee markup, a procedural milestone that positions the bill for possible floor consideration. Committee substitute amendments often reshape scope and funding, so the reported text will determine the practical effect on water permitting, infrastructure, and federal-state coordination.
