On December 10, the U.S. House of Representatives passed S.4367, the Thomas R. Carper Water Resources Development Act of 2024, as amended, by a 399-18 vote. ABC wrote a letter in support of the legislation, which reauthorizes the WRDA and makes significant investments in America’s infrastructure. It also provides opportunities for contractors nationwide to participate on the majority of WRDA projects. The amended WRDA bill reflects months of negotiations between the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. It is likely the bill will pass the Senate before the end of the 118^th Congress. ABC will continue to support the bill while opposing the distribution of WRDA funds guided by the Biden administration’s Federal Acquisition Council Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects final rule.
