Proposal would keep water court laws and funding rules in place

The proposed text gives June 30, 2028, as the end date for most listed laws and June 30, 2038, for specified sections. The dates apply to the listed water court and water adjudication laws and sections. The listed termination dates are June 30, 2028, or June 30, 2038, depending on the law or section.

The proposed text keeps water adjudication account earnings in that account until June 30, 2038, and directs any money left then to the water right appropriation account. The rules apply to the state's water adjudication account. The account is for funding the department's water adjudication program and the Water Court. The state treasurer's transfer is tied to the amount appropriated by the legislature and available account funds. The earnings restriction and transfer date are June 30, 2038.
