Shoshone-Paiute Tribes would get over $5 million to correct a past water rights payment.
This bill would authorize Congress to set aside over $5.1 million for the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation. This money is a technical correction to an earlier water rights settlement, specifically for adjusted interest that was not fully paid into a development fund. It would ensure the tribes receive the full amount they were due from that past agreement.
Today, the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes' Development Fund has not received the full amount of adjusted interest from their 2009 water rights settlement. After this bill, Congress would be authorized to set aside over $5.1 million to add this missing adjusted interest to the fund, ensuring the tribes receive the complete payment they were due.
