Bill Summary

An act to add Section 1526 to the Water Code, relating to water.

AI Summary

This bill would require the State Water Resources Control Board, which is the state agency responsible for water quality and water rights, to exempt individuals or entities applying for a water right from paying an annual fee if their pond holds 20 acre-feet or less of water, as specified in a particular regulation. Currently, various entities holding water permits, leases, or filing applications are subject to annual fees set by the board, but this change aims to provide relief for smaller water storage projects.
