Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to authorize the use of funds for certain additional Carey Act projects, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act—a major 2021 law that provided money for roads, bridges, and other infrastructure—to allow some of those funds to be used for Carey Act projects. Carey Act projects are irrigation systems developed under an old law that lets states partner with private companies to build water infrastructure on public land. The bill is sponsored by two Idaho senators and is currently in the introduced stage, meaning it has just been formally submitted to Congress. The bill's full details and which specific projects qualify remain in the legislative process.
