Bill would raise the money Congress can set aside for San Joaquin River restoration

Congress would replace $250,000,000 with $750,000,000 in two places in Section 10009 of the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act. The edits are to subsections (a)(1) and (b)(1) of that section, which cover authorized spending for carrying out the settlement. These are limits on what Congress may later pay for. Money would still need to be approved in a separate spending law.
