The CBO released a cost estimate for S. 564, the Zuni Indian Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of 2025. The estimate was prepared as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on March 5, 2025, and formally published by CBO on April 1, 2026. The document analyzes federal spending implications of the proposed settlement related to Zuni Tribe water rights.

Compliance officers and legal professionals should note this is an informational cost estimate rather than a binding regulatory action. The document does not impose new compliance requirements or deadlines on regulated entities. Any implementation requirements would flow from subsequent legislative action rather than this CBO estimate itself.
