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 to reduce or waive the non-federal share of the cost for any infrastructure improvement or activity funded by a grant or agreement between the Secretary and an Indian tribe if the Secretary determines that the non-federal contribution would result in a financial hardship for the tribe. This change aims to improve tribal access to water management and conservation resources.
