Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program Amendment Act of 2025
Introduced Jan 31, 2025 by Rep. Ken Calvert
The House passed it. The Senate has to pass it before it can reach the President.
This bill establishes an interest-bearing account for the nonfederal contributions for the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program, a cooperative effort between federal and nonfederal entities in Arizona, California, and Nevada. The program works to recover multiple species listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Currently, the pace of funding exceeds the pace of work. The bill allows the nonfederal contributions deposited in the fund to be made available, without further appropriation, for the program in the future. However, amounts derived from interest earned on amounts in the fund are subject to the availability of appropriations.
