More about this bill
If you live on the Fort Peck Reservation in Montana, this law is about your water system. It became law when the President signed it on September 25, 2026. Congress could set aside money to plan and build the reservation's Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water System only through fiscal year 2026. That year ends September 30, 2026. The cutoff is now fiscal year 2028. The same two-year change covers a second system, the Dry Prairie Rural Water System. The dollar limits stay the same. The 2000 law set them at $124 million for the Assiniboine and Sioux system. It set $51 million for Dry Prairie. Only the end date moves. Congress still decides each year how much money to actually spend. Everywhere else in the country, people will see no change in daily life.
Congressional Summary
This bill reauthorizes through FY2028 the planning, design, and construction of the Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water System and the Dry Prairie Rural Water System, both located in Montana.
