Unlikely to pass

This bill is currently supported by only two lawmakers from the same state and party. It will need much broader support from other Western states to become law.

Key Points

Rep. Maloy introduced a bill to study a new water system at Glen Canyon Dam. This system would change how water is pulled from the lake to help the dam create more electricity.
The study will also look for ways to stop invasive species from moving through the dam. This is important for keeping the river healthy and protecting native fish.
If the study finds a good solution and power companies agree, the government can begin building the new system. The study must be completed within a year and a half.
The federal government will cover the costs of the study. Unlike many other water projects, the local groups that benefit from the dam will not have to pay this money back to the government.
