Key Points
- Adds a one-time $5,124,902.12 payment to the Tribes’ water Development Fund to fix a past paperwork issue.
- Covers interest that should have been counted since a 2009 water rights deal; the bill does not include any new taxes.
- Money can support wells, pipes, irrigation, and safe drinking water projects on the Duck Valley Reservation.
- Most impact is local to the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes in Nevada and Idaho; little day-to-day change for most Americans.
- Backs Tribal water rights and helps move long-delayed work forward with a relatively small federal cost.
