Plain-English Summary

The bill would modify how money is distributed from a fund created to help settle water rights disputes involving Native American tribes, by creating separate accounts within that fund for different purposes or tribes. This change would give Congress and tribal nations more control over how settlement money is allocated and spent. The proposal affects Native American communities, federal agencies managing water resources, and states involved in water rights negotiations with tribes.
