This bill establishes a new interest-bearing Non-Federal Funding Account within the U.S. Treasury, specifically for managing contributions from State Parties to the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program. This account is intended to support the program as outlined in the 2005 Funding and Management Agreement, ensuring a dedicated financial mechanism for its long-term sustainability. The legislation directs the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit all non-Federal contributions into this Fund, encompassing both unexpended amounts provided before the bill's enactment and all future contributions. Funds deposited, along with any interest earned from authorized investments in U.S. obligations, will be made available to the Secretary for expenditure according to the Program Documents. A significant provision clarifies that once contributions are placed into the Fund, the State Parties are no longer responsible for any losses due to investment of those amounts.
