Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “WaterSMART Access for Tribes Act”.

SEC. 2. Reduction or waiver of non-Federal share of costs of certain water management improvements for Indian tribes.
