Summary
The Congressional Research Service’s plain-language summary of what the law does.
Zuni Indian Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of 2003- (Sec. 4) Ratifies the Settlement Agreement concerning Zuni Indian Tribe water rights claims in the Little Colorado River basin, Arizona. Authorizes appropriations for: (1) FY 2004 for acquisition of water rights and associated lands, and other activities by the Zuni Tribe to facilitate enforceability of the Settlement Agreement; and (2) FY 2004 through 2006 for actions necessary to restore, rehabilitate, and maintain the Zuni Heaven Reservation, including the Sacred Lake, wetlands, and riparian areas.
Ratifies specified agreements involving the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, Tucson Electric Power Company, the Arizona State Land Department, the Zuni tribe and the United States.
(Sec. 5) Requires the Secretary of the Interior to take legal title of specified lands in the Gila and Salt River Base and Meridian into trust for the benefit of the Zuni tribe. Declares that these lands shall not have Federal reserved rights to surface water or groundwater. Requires the Zuni Tribe to make payments in lieu of all current State, county, and local ad valorem taxes that would otherwise apply if those lands were not held in trust.
Prohibits the United States, except in certain instances, from removing jurisdiction to Federal courts for disputes over intergovernmental agreements entered into under these trust land agreements.
(Sec. 6) Establishes and authorizes appropriations to the Zuni Indian Tribe Water Rights Development Fund, to be allocated among specified activities, including the acquisition of water rights and restoration of the Zuni Heaven Reservation. Requires deposit in it of any funds paid to the Tribe as required by the Settlement Agreement. Conditions Zuni expenditures from such Fund upon the Secretary's approval of a tribal management plan and an expenditure plan.
Prohibits any per capita distribution from the Fund to members of the Zuni Tribe.
(Sec. 7) Extinguishes all claims for water rights in Zuni lands.
Declares that nothing in this Act recognizes or establishes any right of a member of the Zuni tribe to water on the Reservation.
Authorizes the Zuni tribe to waive and release past, present, and future claims for injuries to water rights against Arizona, the United States, and others.
Authorizes the Zuni tribe to waive its right to request that the United States bring any current or future claims for injuries to water quality.
Waives and releases all past, present, and future common law and natural resource damage claims of the United States against Arizona or others with respect to Settlement land and water.
(Sec. 8) Disallows any claim of sovereign immunity by the United States or specified tribes in specified kinds of litigation relating to the interpretation or enforcement of this Act, the Settlement Agreement, other specified agreements, or a Pumping Protection Agreement. Requires all water rights used on the Zuni Heaven Reservation to be held in trust by the United States. Specifies water use rights and immunities, subject to certain limitations.

The House’s recorded vote on the final version of the law (roll call 246 in Voteview), matched to the vote the record cites and checked against its totals. Positions are each member’s DW-NOMINATE score for that Congress, as on the Ideology page; left to right is more liberal to more conservative. Paired and announced yea votes count as yea. Lists follow the compass, most liberal first. A name links to a profile only for members of the current Congress. A law passed by voice vote or unanimous consent has no member list, and neither does a vote Voteview has not yet recorded.
