What it does
The bill amends the Taos Pueblo Indian Water Rights Settlement Act to facilitate implementation of the settlement agreement by updating definitions, restructuring Pueblo trust funds, and adding provisions for mutual-benefit projects. It establishes two new trust funds—the Taos Pueblo Groundwater Development Supplemental Trust Fund and the Taos Pueblo Surface Water Sharing Supplemental Trust Fund—to support water infrastructure investments. It also authorizes financial assistance for non-Pueblo entities to plan and construct mutual-benefit projects, including mitigation well systems and alternative offset infrastructure, with specific funding deadlines and conditions for expenditure.
