This bill would provide compensation to people and businesses harmed by the 2015 Gold King Mine spill in Colorado, which released millions of gallons of contaminated water into rivers and affected drinking water supplies and agricultural operations across multiple states. The legislation would establish a process for affected individuals, farmers, and companies to receive payments for damages like health problems, lost income, and cleanup costs resulting from the spill.
