We are working to authorize and clarify adjusted interest payments to key water development funds for the Navajo Nation, Taos Pueblo, and Aamodt Settlement Pueblos, ensuring these communities have the necessary resources to maintain and operate their water systems effectively. This legislation makes technical corrections to previous laws to support sustainable water infrastructure for these Native American groups.
