GOVERNMENT INFORMATION GP 114TH CONGRESS REPORT 2d Session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 114-747 AMENDING THE SAN LUIS REY INDIAN WATER RIGHTS SETTLEMENT ACT TO CLARIFY CERTAIN SETTLEMENT TERMS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES SEPTEMBER 15, 2016.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union and ordered to be printed Mr. BISHOP of Utah, from the Committee on Natural Resources, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H.R. 1296] [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office] The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 1296) to amend the San Luis Rey Indian Water Rights Settlement Act to clarify certain settlement terms, and for other purposes, having considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill do pass. PURPOSE OF THE BILL The purpose of H.R. 1296 is to amend the San Luis Rey Indian Water Rights settlement Act to clarify certain settlement terms. BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION H.R. 1296 helps bring closure to the decades-old San Luis Rey Water Settlement and related litigation and uncertainty in south- ern California. Beginning in 1969, the La Jolla, Rincon, San Pasqual, Pauma, and Pala Bands of Mission Indians (the Bands) sued the City of Es- condido, California and the Vista Irrigation district (Local Entities) on the grounds that the federal government improperly signed over the Bands' water rights to the Local Entities. Decades of litigation surrounding the Bands' water rights claims ensued until 1988, when Congress enacted the San Luis Rey Indian Water Rights Set- tlement Act (the 1988 Settlement Act, Public Law 100-675). It is one of 29 Indian water rights settlements that have been approved by Congress. 59-006
