House Democrats Introduce the Clean Water Act of 2023

Press Release

Date: Oct. 18, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Environment

"Clean water means the difference between healthy communities and sick ones, thriving businesses and stunted ones, preserved natural environments and polluted ones. The Clean Water Act of 2023 restores historic, bipartisan protections to the estimated 50% of wetlands and 70% of streams lost through the misguided Sackett decision. I commend Ranking Member Napolitano, Rep. Beyer, and Rep. Stansbury for their leadership as well as the more than one hundred House Democrats who cosponsored this critical legislation, which balances essential protections of the health of our environment and our local economies."
