S. 240

Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act of 2025

Indian Affairs Committee · Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT)

The bill would amend a 2010 water rights settlement agreement between the Crow Tribe of Montana and the state to make several improvements to how water projects on the reservation are managed and funded. It would establish dedicated accounts to support the rehabilitation of the Crow Irrigation Project and the development of water infrastructure for municipal, rural, and industrial uses, and would extend the tribe's exclusive rights to build hydropower facilities at a dam by five years.[AI-Generated]
