What this bill does
H.R. 10306 would amend the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 to make a technical correction to the water rights settlement enacted for the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation. Specifically, it authorizes an additional appropriation of $5,124,902.12 to the Secretary of the Interior for deposit into the Development Fund established under that settlement, described as an adjustment to interest payments owed to the fund. The bill does not otherwise alter the terms of the original water rights settlement.
The measure primarily affects the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation, located in Idaho and Nevada, by ensuring the Development Fund associated with their federally recognized water rights settlement receives the correct amount of interest funding as originally intended. It also affects the Department of the Interior, which administers the fund and would receive the additional appropriation authority.
The bill was introduced in the House on September 8, 2026, by Rep. Mark Amodei of Nevada and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. As an introduced bill, it has not yet been voted on; it would need to be considered and approved by the committee, then the full House and Senate, before being sent to the President to become law.
