This bill fixes a past water settlement for the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation. It lets the federal government add adjusted interest—about $5.1 million—to the Tribes’ Water Rights Development Fund, which was set up in 2009 as part of their water rights agreement. The law change specifically authorizes $5,124,902.12 to be deposited into that fund.
In simple terms, this means more money to carry out the water settlement for the Tribes—helping support projects and needs covered by that agreement.
Received in the House.
Passed/agreed to in Senate: Passed Senate without amendment by Unanimous Consent.
