Summary
This bill requires federal agencies operating water projects in western Reclamation States to provide meaningful consultation and engagement with water contractors during Endangered Species Act section 7 consultations. Specifically, it mandates that covered entities (public agencies and water users associations with federal water supply contracts) have opportunities to review and comment on biological assessments, biological opinions, and proposed alternatives before they are finalized. The bill aims to ensure that water contractors are informed about the legal authority, scientific basis, and economic impacts of any agency actions that would reduce water delivery under their contracts.
