This bill increases federal funding for the Las Vegas Wash program, a water management initiative in Nevada. The legislation amends the Water Resources Development Act of 2000 to raise the authorized appropriations for the program from $40 million to $65 million, providing an additional $25 million in potential federal funding. The Las Vegas Wash program focuses on environmental restoration and flood control in the Las Vegas area. The bill was introduced by Nevada Representatives Susie Lee, Steven Horsford, and Dina Titus in December 2023 and was referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. This increased authorization allows the federal government to allocate more resources toward the program's ongoing projects and initiatives.
