S. 240

Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act of 2025

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

5 October 2026 | Presented to President

What's next: President has 10 days (Sundays excepted): sign, veto, or it becomes law unsigned (pocket veto if adjournment prevents return)

Summary: The bill would amend a 2010 water rights settlement between the Crow Tribe of Montana and the state by making several administrative and financial changes to how two major water projects on the Crow Reservation are managed and funded. Specifically, it would establish separate accounts to support ongoing rehabilitation of the Crow Irrigation Project and development of the tribe's municipal and rural water system, and would extend the tribe's exclusive right to build hydropower facilities at Yellowtail Afterbay Dam by five years.
