Introduced March 9, 2021

AI-Generated Summary

Updated February 7, 2026 at 11:57 PM UTC

The bill makes a technical correction to the 2009 Omnibus Public Land Management Act’s water‑rights settlement for the Shoshone‑Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation. It authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to appropriate $5,124,902.12 in adjusted interest to the settlement’s Development Fund. This adjustment changes how interest on the settlement funds is handled and directly affects the tribe’s water‑rights settlement financing.

Key Provisions

  • Amends Section 10807(b)(3) of the 2009 Act to replace wording and add a new provision that authorizes $5,124,902.12 in adjusted interest payments to be deposited into the Development Fund for the Shoshone‑Paiute water‑rights settlement.
  • Deletes earlier language about interest payments on the Development and Maintenance Funds and replaces it with the new adjusted interest authorization.
