Pechanga Band of Indians Water Rights Settlement Technical Amendments Act

This bill amends the existing water rights settlement for the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians to update the legal definition of their reservation and clarify how certain funds can be used. It specifically adds several historical land additions to the reservation definition and expands the definition to include any contiguous federal trust land located within the Santa Margarita River Watershed. Additionally, the legislation allows the use of a specific water quality account to address issues in the Wolf Valley Basin, broadening its scope beyond just desalination. The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to make these necessary changes to the settlement agreement without affecting any water rights that already exist.
