What’s happening with Technical Corrections to the Northwestern New Mexico Rural Water Projects Act, Taos Pueblo Indian Water Rights Settlement Act, and Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act?

The bill S. 640 passed the Senate on December 14, 2025, and now sits at the House desk for further action.

While the bill has cleared the Senate, bills that pass only one chamber often fail to become law because the House schedule is crowded.
