AI Summary
This bill, the Future of Water Act of 2022, aims to amend the Commodity Exchange Act to prohibit the trading of water and water rights for future delivery. Specifically, it would remove water and water rights (including any related indexes, measures, values, or data) from the definition of a "commodity" under the Act, effectively banning their trading on commodity exchanges. This is intended to prevent the potential commodification and speculation of a vital natural resource like water.
