Settle water rights claims for the Yavapai-Apache Nation to ensure a reliable water supply for the tribe.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Yavapai-Apache Nation Water Rights Settlement Act of 2025?
The Yavapai-Apache Nation Water Rights Settlement Act is pending in the House Committee on Natural Resources as of December 25, 2025, and the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs as of January 12, 2026. Members of these committees must hold a vote to move the bills forward, but the primary constraint is that most legislation dies due to committee inaction rather than a formal vote. Similar efforts failed to pass during the 2024 session, and no action has occurred on the current House bill since December 25, 2025.
