To amend section 125 of title 23, United States Code, to require that a project for the permanent repair or reconstruction of a repeatedly damaged facility includes feasible and economically justifiable improvements to increase the resilience of such facility, and for other purposes.

Bill 117 hr 3298, also known as the Resilient Infrastructure for Communities Act, aims to amend section 125 of title 23 in the United States Code. The bill proposes that any project for the permanent repair or reconstruction of a facility that has been repeatedly damaged must include feasible and economically justifiable improvements to increase the resilience of the facility. This means that when repairing or rebuilding a facility that has been damaged multiple times, steps must be taken to make the facility more resistant to future damage.

The purpose of this bill is to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used effectively to not only repair damaged facilities but also to make them more resilient to future disasters. By requiring improvements to increase resilience, the bill aims to reduce the likelihood of repeated damage and the need for costly repairs in the future.

Overall, the Resilient Infrastructure for Communities Act seeks to promote the long-term sustainability and durability of infrastructure in the United States by incorporating resilience measures into repair and reconstruction projects. This bill is an important step towards building more resilient communities and protecting taxpayer investments in infrastructure.
