To amend the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act to extend provisions related to the Calaveras, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced, and San Joaquin rivers, and for other purposes.

HR 10482 extends the deadline for certain provisions of the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2045. This amendment directly affects water management and restoration efforts for the Calaveras, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced, and San Joaquin rivers. The key mechanism is a simple date extension in Section 10011(e)(1) of the Act, providing a longer timeframe for implementing existing settlement terms. The bill does not alter the substance of the restoration plan, only its timeline. This is a procedural adjustment to maintain continuity of the existing river restoration framework.
