In western states like New Mexico, we rely heavily upon water sources that may be far from their point of use, so this legislation takes the important step of protecting the ability of individuals, ranchers, and others to own water rights without federal intrusion.” Pearce is a cosponsor of the legislation, which prohibits the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture from conditioning the approval of a permit, lease, or easement based on the receipt of water rights from the permit holder. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
