TO: | Honorable Kenneth Armbrister, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB1535 by Cook, Robby (Relating to the use of certain fees by groundwater conservation districts.), As Engrossed |
Under current statute, the only fees a district may use for purposes related to a district's certified water management plan are permit fees, and projects for which grants, loans, or payments can be made are limited to reductions in groundwater pumping and development or distribution of alternative water supplies.
No significant fiscal impact is anticipated to units of local government because the provisions of the bill would allow the district flexibility in the use of fees that are already collected.
