In brief
This bill settles water rights claims for the Navajo Nation in New Mexico by authorizing and ratifying a legal agreement between the tribe, the state, and other parties regarding the Rio San José Stream System. It establishes the Navajo Nation Rio San José Water Rights Settlement Trust Fund to pay for the agreement's implementation and expands the service areas for the existing Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project. The legislation outlines specific water rights for the tribe while requiring the United States and the Navajo Nation to waive and release certain legal claims. Introduced by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM), the bill is currently awaiting consideration by a House committee.
