H.R. 10151 was introduced in the 119th Congress by Chris Deluzio (Democrat) and is currently listed as “Introduced”. It is classified under the Environmental Protection policy area, one of 112 bills in that area we track this Congress.

Our conflict-of-interest analysis rates H.R. 10151 2/10 (low risk), higher than 76% of analyzed bills; the average in Environmental Protection is 2.1/10.
Supporters of H.R. 10151 have highlighted the bill as a significant step toward enhancing the safety of drinking water in underserved communities. They argue that increasing funding for small systems will help ensure that all Americans have access to clean and safe drinking water, particularly in rural areas where resources are limited.
Critics of H.R. 10151 express concerns that the adjustments to funding limits may not be sufficient to address the widespread issues facing aging water infrastructure. Some argue that the bill falls short of what is necessary to tackle the root causes of water quality problems and may lead to continued disparities in access to safe drinking water.
The analysis of H.R. 10151, which aims to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act, reveals no direct industry overlaps between the bill's subject matter and the sponsor Chris Deluzio's top donor industries. Deluzio's largest donor industry is Health Professionals, contributing $120 million, followed by Retired individuals at $37.5 million. Since the bill focuses on drinking water infrastructure and resilience, it does not directly relate to the interests of these donor industries, which primarily revolve around health services and retirement funds. Therefore, the potential for conflicts of interest appears minimal.
It is important for voters to be aware that while the financial contributions from these industries are significant, they do not align with the legislative focus of this bill. The absence of overlapping interests suggests that the motivations behind the bill are not likely influenced by the financial interests of the top donors. This indicates a lower risk of conflicts of interest that could affect the integrity of the legislative process regarding drinking water safety and infrastructure funding.
