Senate Bill 854 amends the Water Code to require a groundwater conservation district, without a hearing, to renew or approve an application to renew an operating permit before the permit's expiration if the permit holder is not requesting a change related to the renewal that would require a permit amendment. The bill exempts a district from this requirement under specified circumstances and provides for the continuation of an operating permit for which an amendment has been requested during the permit amendment process.
