S 950 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Technical Correction to the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation Water Rights Settlement Act of 2023

This bill corrects a technical error in the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation Water Rights Settlement Act of 2023. It authorizes $5,124,902.12 to be deposited into a Development Fund, adjusted for inflation since January 2016 using the Consumer Price Index. The funds directly support the tribe's water rights settlement, ensuring payments reflect current economic conditions. This is a procedural adjustment to the existing settlement law, not a new policy.

MINOR

The Senate engrossed version of S 950 removed a specific appropriation of $5,124,902.12 for deposit into the Development Fund under the 'Adjusted interest payments' section, along with a cost indexing provision that would have adjusted that amount for inflation using the CPI since January 25, 2016. The section heading remains but the operative funding language was stripped out, effectively eliminating this particular authorization.

FISCAL

Removed the specific authorization to appropriate $5,124,902.12 for deposit into the Development Fund under the Adjusted interest payments subsection.

Removed the cost indexing provision that would have adjusted the appropriated amount to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (West Urban 50,000 to 1,500,000) since January 25, 2016.
