Note on a discrepancy in provided text

The draft text supplied with this request appears to belong to a different, substantive measure titled the “Zuni Indian Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of 2025,” containing multiple titles and sections on water rights, settlement trust funds, land withdrawals, and transfer of land into trust. That content is inconsistent with the commemorative resolution described above.

Briefly, the Zuni-related text (if a separate bill) would:
- Ratify a settlement agreement, define tribal water rights, establish a Settlement Trust Fund, provide funding, require waivers/releases of claims, and include land withdrawal/management and trust-transfer provisions for Zuni Salt Lake and sanctuary protection.

Recommendation: If you intended analysis of the Zuni Indian Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act rather than the Round Rock Ballet Folklórico resolution, please confirm and provide the correct bill number or full text so I can produce a focused summary of that substantive legislation.
