In plain English
Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) sponsored this bill, which creates an interest-bearing account to hold nonfederal contributions to the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program—a joint federal-state effort in Arizona, California, and Nevada to protect endangered species. Nonfederal money deposited in the account becomes available for program use without additional congressional appropriation, though interest earned on the account balance remains subject to standard appropriations requirements. The bill addresses a funding timing mismatch where nonfederal entities are contributing money faster than the program can spend it.
