Salton Sea Projects Improvements Act
This bill provides the Bureau of Reclamation with additional project authorities for the Salton Sea research project in Southern California.

To carry out these projects, Reclamation may enter into partnerships with state, tribal, and local governments; water districts; joint powers authorities, including the Salton Sea Authority; nonprofit organizations; and institutions of higher education.
