AI Summary
This bill, the WaterSMART Access for Tribes Act, amends the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 to increase tribal access to water conservation and efficiency grants. Specifically, it allows the Secretary of the Interior to reduce or waive the non-federal cost-share requirement for infrastructure improvements or activities that are the subject of a grant or agreement between the Secretary and an Indian tribe, if the Secretary determines that the tribe does not have sufficient funds to pay the cost-share. This provision aims to provide more flexibility and access to water conservation programs for tribal communities.
