Support for Water and Flood Control Projects on the US-Mexico Border

Key points
The Commission can accept funds from federal and non-federal entities for water and flood control projects.
These funds will be used for studying, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining water infrastructure.
There are limits on reimbursements to non-federal entities (up to $5 million annually) and a ban on accepting funds from entities linked to countries of concern.
The Commission will regularly report on the use of accepted funds.
