This bill would prohibit the federal government from using any taxpayer funds to breach, study, or alter four dams on the Lower Snake River in Washington State—the Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, Little Goose, and Lower Granite dams. The legislation also blocks federal funding for the Columbia Basin Restoration Initiative, a restoration plan that was proposed in a court filing in December 2023 as part of an ongoing legal case involving environmental groups and federal fisheries agencies. The bill effectively prevents any federally funded studies, planning, or implementation of dam removal or modifications that could affect these four dams. The measure was introduced in January 2024 by a group of Republican representatives from Washington and Idaho, states that depend on these dams for power generation, flood control, and navigation. No specific funding amount or timeline is mentioned in the bill.
