HR 7776 United States House · 118th Congress

Help Hoover Dam Act

HR 7776, the Help Hoover Dam Act, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to spend non-reimbursable funds recovered into account XXXR5656P1 on Hoover Dam operations, maintenance, cleanup, and capital improvements. It specifically allows these funds to be used for activities within the Boulder Canyon Project at Hoover Dam or on related land, subject to contractor approval under the 2011 Hoover Power Allocation Act. The bill modifies the existing Boulder Canyon Project Act to clarify spending authority for existing recovered funds, without creating new appropriations or affecting other funding mechanisms. This procedural change directly affects how the Department of the Interior manages and allocates specific recovered funds for Hoover Dam maintenance and operations.
