Hillary Scholten (MI-03) joined fellow members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in introducing the Clean Water Act of 2023 to protect America\u2019s rivers, streams, and wetlands from pollution.\n\n\u201cEveryone deserves access to clean water \u2013 it\u2019s really that simple. Our much-needed bill will restore the integrity of the original Clean Water Act so we can protect this critical resource for future generations,\u201d said Rep. Scholten.\n\nThis legislation undoes the damage from the Supreme Court Sackett decision, which dramatically limited the scope of federal protections over the nation\u2019s waters and wetlands provided by the original Clean Water Act of 1972.\n\nThe bill reinstates the bipartisan federal-state partnership that has protected rivers, streams, and wetlands for over 50 years and establishes a clear, level playing field for businesses and industries to thrive while protecting precious natural resources.\n\nA one-page summary of the bill can be found here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://scholten.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-scholten-helps-introduce-clean-water-act-2023"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4909759629517794, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
