H.R. 2510 · 115th Congress
Water Quality Protection and Job Creation Act of 2017
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

- a grant program for implementing state management programs for controlling pollution added from nonpoint sources (e.g., pollution on the ground picked up by rain) to navigable waters;
- a grant program for protecting groundwater quality;
- clean water state revolving funds;
- a pilot program for alternative water source projects; and
- sewer overflow and stormwater reuse municipal grants (formally known as sewer overflow control grants).
