Bill overview
This bill, the Acequia Communities Empowered by Qualifying Upgrades for Infrastructure Act, aims to support agricultural producers who rely on acequia systems – traditional community ditches used for irrigation – by expanding their access to disaster assistance. It modifies a key program to ensure these producers receive aid for losses due to drought, flood, or other natural disasters. Furthermore, the bill removes the requirement for special use permits on federal land for acequia maintenance and minor improvements, and directs the Department of Agriculture to report on the use of disaster assistance programs by acequia-dependent farmers.
