A bill to amend the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act to modify a provision relating to the extension of certain dates for the completion of the Regional Water System, and for other purposes.

Sponsored By: Senator Luján, Ben Ray [D-NM]

Introduced

Summary

Authorizes mutual-agreement extensions for the Regional Water System's completion dates. This bill would amend Section 623(g) of the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act to replace the introductory language and add a new subsection that lets the Pueblos, the United States (acting through the Secretary), the State, the City, and the County extend the dates in subsection (e) if those parties agree an extension is reasonably necessary.

Show full summary
  • Pueblos and tribal communities would have an explicit role in approving schedule extensions, giving them a direct say over project timing.
  • Federal, state, and local governments would need agreement from all listed parties to extend deadlines, shifting authority from a fixed schedule to consensus decision making.
  • The Regional Water System's completion timeline would become flexible when all parties find an extension reasonably necessary, allowing adjustments for delays or complications.

Delay authority for regional water deadlines

If enacted, the bill would allow extensions of the completion dates listed in subsection (e). An extension would be allowed only if the Pueblos, the United States (through the Secretary), the State, the City, and the County all agree the extension is reasonably necessary. The bill would not set new dates or limit how long an extension could last. Communities served by the Regional Water System could get water service later than planned.
