Fix technical errors in laws regarding water projects and water rights settlements for tribes in New Mexico.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
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. The House Committee on Natural Resources must move the bill to the floor for a vote, but House leadership controls the schedule. While the bill has cleared the Senate, bills that pass only one chamber often fail to become law because the House schedule is crowded.
