Technical Corrections to the Northwestern New Mexico Rural Water Projects Act, Taos Pueblo Indian Water Rights Settlement Act, and Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act
HR 6599 authorizes specific interest payments to three existing water settlement funds established under previous laws. It directs $6.36 million to the Navajo Nation Water Resources Trust Fund, $7.79 million to the Taos Pueblo Water Development Fund, and $4.31 million to the Aamodt Settlement Pueblos’ Fund. These payments correct technical errors in the original settlement acts and cover costs related to water system operations and maintenance. The bill does not create new programs or change existing obligations - it only adjusts funding for previously authorized settlements.
