Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) has filed an amendment to H.R. 8997, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for the fiscal year 2025.

Amendment #10 aims to prevent funds from being used to transfer or delegate control or maintenance responsibility of the Lower Yellowstone Fish Bypass Channel to any non-federal entity. "Montanans should never be forced to independently fund radical environmentalist pet projects that were initiated against their will," said Rep. Rosendale. "The federal government is financially responsible for this channel and must be stopped from unjustly transferring their costs. Farmers and ranchers are already struggling with economic pressures and cannot afford this additional burden."
