AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Reclamation, to continue participating in the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (the Program) to protect endangered and threatened species and their habitats in the Central and Lower Platte River Basin. The bill extends the Program's first increment, which was set to expire in 2019, through 2032. It allows the Secretary to carry out various projects and activities under the Program, including acquiring interests in land and water from willing sellers, and provides up to $78 million in additional federal funding, which must be matched by at least 50% in non-federal contributions from the states of Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. The bill aims to facilitate the continued cooperative efforts among federal and non-federal entities to implement the Program without creating new federal water rights or requiring the grant of water rights to federal entities.
