Interest-bearing account established for Lower Colorado River conservation funding.
This Act establishes a special, interest-bearing account within the U.S. Treasury dedicated to funding the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program. This change ensures that non-federal contributions from State Parties for environmental protection and species conservation in the region will earn interest, increasing the total funds available for these efforts. For citizens, this means potentially more robust and stable funding for protecting water resources and biodiversity in the vital Colorado River ecosystem.
