Sponsor: Sen. Daines, Steve (R-MT)1 cosponsorIntroduced Jan 24, 2025
✆
In plain English
S. 240, sponsored by Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), amends the 2010 Crow Tribe water rights settlement to revise how the federal government funds water infrastructure projects on the Crow Reservation. The bill establishes two interest-bearing accounts—the Crow CIP Implementation Account to fund rehabilitation of the existing Crow Irrigation Project, and the MR&I Projects Account for the tribe to use on municipal, rural, and industrial water infrastructure—while extending by five years to 2030 the tribe's exclusive right to construct hydropower facilities at Yellowtail Afterbay Dam.
