Securing Conservation Funds: Interest Account for Lower Colorado River Program.
This law establishes a dedicated, interest-bearing account within the U.S. Treasury for funds contributed by states to the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program. This mechanism ensures that conservation funds grow through investment interest, providing more stable and long-term financing for environmental protection efforts in the region. Contributing states are relieved of responsibility for investment losses once the funds are deposited.
