A bill to amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to authorize the use of funds for certain additional Carey Act projects, and for other purposes.
This bill amends the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to allow funding for additional dams built under the 1894 Carey Act (43 U.S.C. 641). It authorizes using specific funds to rehabilitate, reconstruct, or replace existing Carey Act dams that continue to operate as dams. The Secretary must first determine that eligible dams have received necessary funding and that the allocated funds remain available before releasing money. This directly affects dams developed under the Carey Act in western states, enabling their modernization using existing federal infrastructure funds.
