Plain-English Summary

The bill would protect water deliveries to the United States under a 1944 treaty with Mexico and create a compensation program for American farmers who lose income when they don't receive their promised water share. This affects agricultural producers in western states who depend on cross-border water agreements for irrigation and farming operations. The proposal is being reviewed by committees handling foreign relations, taxes, and agriculture to determine how to fund and implement the compensation system.
