The lawyers have determined that a minor error in the legislation approving the Nez Perce water rights agreement does need to be corrected, but it didn’t need to be corrected before midnight tonight.

The House Ways & Means Committee introduced legislation to fix the error earlier today and the House then quickly passed it. The Senate may get to it tomorrow.
