S 365 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary
This bill amends the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act to expand the list of entities authorized to perform maintenance work on Bolts Ditch and the Bolts Ditch Headgate within the Holy Cross Wilderness in Colorado. The bill adds two Colorado water organizations—the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority—to the eligible entities that can complete this maintenance work. The change allows these local water districts to conduct necessary upkeep on the ditch and headgate infrastructure.
