LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
2026 Federal Priorities
The City of Chino supports direct federal funding to cities to support critical city services; supports local policy decision-making on regional and local issues; opposes federal policies that undermine local government regulatory authority, shift costs to local governments, or impose unfunded mandates, or preempt local government revenues.
INVEST IN LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Pursue policy solutions that support the basic infrastructure needs of cities. Protect and ensure federal funding for cities. Seek ongoing, equitable funding sources provided directly to cities to address the backlog of city infrastructure projects.
Water
Support the Water Systems PFAS Liability Protection Act (H.R. 1267) Support the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) Amendments of 2025 (H.R. 6229) Transportation
Support the Bridges and Safety Infrastructure for Community Success (BASICS) (H.R. 7437) - Increases the Surface Transportation Block Grant program, providing funding to states and regions.
FACILITATE AND INCREASE HOUSING SUPPLY
Support the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (H.R. 6644) – Provides program improvements that benefit local jurisdictions by making new housing construction an eligible use of CDBG funds, revitalizing the HOME program for construction of affordable and workforce housing.
REDUCE FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT Minimize costly grant applications and other administrative burdens to ensure infrastructure funding is accessible to cities.
Support the Streamlining Federal Grants Act (S. 3709)
FUND LOCAL PUBLIC SAFETY

DOJ Grants
