Posts - Bill - HR 635 WaterSMART Access for Tribes Act

house 01/22/2025 - 119th Congress

We're working to amend the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 to increase Tribal access to water conservation and efficiency grants. Our goal is to empower Tribal communities by allowing the reduction or waiver of non-Federal funding requirements, ensuring vital water infrastructure projects can move forward without causing financial hardship.
