Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Updates the 2010 water agreement for the Crow Tribe to speed up local water and sewer work and give the Tribe more say.
- Shifts money into new accounts that earn interest, so funds are easier to use for planning, building, and fixing water and wastewater systems on the reservation.
- The Tribe owns and runs the new infrastructure. The federal government will not pay for day-to-day upkeep or future replacements.
- After on-reservation water projects are finished, any leftover funds can buy on-reservation land that comes with water rights.
- Adjusts funding for construction cost increases since 2008 and extends a Yellowtail Dam timeline from 15 to 20 years.
