Bill Summary

For legislation to mitigate water resource impacts. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill aims to mitigate the impacts on water resources by allowing cities, towns, water districts, and other authorities to collect a reasonable fee. The fee can be used to fund measures such as local stormwater and wastewater recharge, water conservation, and improvements to aquatic habitats. The funds collected would be kept in separate "Sustainable Water Resource Funds" and can also receive additional public and private funding. The bill allows for the revocation of the fee and directs the remaining funds to be used consistently with the section's purpose.
