Sponsored By: Representative Leger Fernandez, Teresa [D-NM-3]

In Committee

Summary

Requires unanimous agreement to extend the Regional Water System timeline. This bill would amend Section 623(g) of the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act to treat completion dates as conditions precedent and to allow extensions only when the Pueblos, the United States (acting through the Secretary), the State, the City, and the County jointly determine an extension is reasonably necessary.

Show full summary
  • Pueblos: Gives the Pueblos an explicit, binding role in any extension decision by requiring their agreement before deadlines can be moved.
  • State, local, and federal partners: Requires consensus among the Secretary, the State, the City, and the County and sets a "reasonably necessary" standard for approving extensions.
  • Project timelines and settlement framework: Preserves the Aamodt settlement structure while creating a clear, multi-party process to extend substantial completion dates and does not add new funding or eligibility changes.

*Would not change federal spending or revenues and does not authorize new appropriations.*
