More funding for San Joaquin and Friant
If enacted, the bill would raise two authorized spending caps in the San Joaquin River Restoration law. Each cap would rise from $250 million to $750 million. The bill would also raise the Friant Division Improvements cap from $50 million to $75 million. These changes would only increase the legal authorization and would not appropriate money now. Actual spending would require future congressional appropriations and would follow existing program rules. If enacted, the changes would take effect upon enactment.
