Plain Language Summary

# Orland Project Water Management Act Summary **What It Does** This bill would modify how water is managed and allocated for the Orland Project, a federal water reclamation system in northern California. The specific provisions aren't detailed in the basic bill information available, but the legislation would address water resources funding and supply management for this project. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily impacts California's northern regions that depend on the Orland Project for water supply. This includes agricultural users, local water districts, and communities that rely on the project's water allocation system.

The changes could also affect how federal water resources are funded and distributed in the area. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), whose district includes the project area. For more detailed information about specific provisions, you would need to review the full legislative text on Congress.gov.
