Key Points

This bill gives the Department of the Interior the power to spend money from a specific fund to take care of the Hoover Dam. It allows them to use money that is already available to pay for repairs, daily operations, and cleaning up the area around the dam.
The Hoover Dam is a major source of water and electricity for millions of people in states like Nevada, Arizona, and California. By making it easier to use these funds, the bill helps make sure the dam stays safe and keeps running without waiting for new money from Congress.
Before any money is spent, the government must talk to the local power companies and groups that have contracts to get electricity from the dam. This ensures that the people who rely on the dam's power have a say in how the maintenance and improvement projects are carried out.
