Summary
Acequia Conservation Program Eligibility Act
This bill amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to make acequias eligible for assistance under several Department of Agriculture conservation programs. An "acequia" is a political subdivision of a state that is organized to manage the operation of an irrigation ditch and does not have the power to impose taxes or levies.
