Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program Amendment Act of 2025
What does the HR 831 do?
HR 831 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA-41). Amends section 9402 of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11; 123 Stat. 1328) by adding a new subsection (c) that establishes a Non-Federal Funding Account for the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program in the Treasury. The account holds any unexpended non-Federal contributions provided before enactment and any provided on or after enactment, together with any investment interest. The Treasury Secretary transfers previously contributed funds within 90 days of enactment and moves future contributions as soon as practicable. Amounts and any interest are made available to the Secretary, without further appropriation, for expenditure as provided in the Program Documents and this section. Investment is limited to interest-bearing U.S. obligations; State Parties are not responsible for investment losses.
