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.

Bill 119 s 1257, also known as the Carey Act Amendment, seeks to make changes to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The main purpose of this bill is to allow funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to be used for specific Carey Act projects. The Carey Act is a federal law that allows for the transfer of federal land to states for the purpose of irrigation and reclamation projects.

This bill would authorize the use of funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for certain additional Carey Act projects. This means that money allocated for infrastructure improvements could be used to support irrigation and reclamation projects in states that participate in the Carey Act program.

In addition to authorizing funds for Carey Act projects, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary, but could potentially include funding for other infrastructure projects or related initiatives. Overall, Bill 119 s 1257 aims to expand the potential uses of funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to support Carey Act projects and potentially other initiatives. This bill would have implications for federal land management, water resources, and infrastructure development in participating states.
