Summary of Bill S 4897
Bill 118 s 4897, also known as the "Water Conservation Subsidies Expansion Act," aims to make changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The main purpose of this bill is to broaden the current exclusion for conservation subsidies to include subsidies for water conservation or efficiency measures, storm water management measures, and waste-water management measures.

This could lead to increased adoption of sustainable practices and technologies that help protect our water resources and environment. Overall, the Water Conservation Subsidies Expansion Act is a step towards promoting conservation and sustainability in the United States.
