Southern Ute and Colorado Intergovernmental Agreement Implementation Act of 2004 - Authorizes the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to treat the Southern Ute Indian Tribe as a State for purposes of implementing and enforcing air quality control programs for their Reservation, as developed in the Intergovernmental Agreement.
Authorizes the Tribe or the Environmental Commission established by the Tribe and the State of Colorado to bring a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief or other enforcement orders in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado if any person fails to comply with a final civil order of the Tribe or Commission under specified air quality provisions.
Retains the right of any individual to seek injunctive relief to immediately restrain a pollution source which is presenting an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health or welfare under the emergency powers provision of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Provides for appellate review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit of any decision by the Commission that would be subject to review if made by the Administrator.
States that nothing in this Act modifies the CAA, specified law concerning tribal boundaries and jurisdiction, or related administrative rules or affects or influences past or prospective judicial interpretations of such laws.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
This bill has been enacted. It is law.
The record's latest action, on October 18, 2004: Became Public Law No: 108-336.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
BEN CAMPBELL (R-CO) introduced it on March 6, 2003. No cosponsors are recorded.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
