CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 1397 - Under the act, a person who has contracted for the right to store water in a reservoir owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers shall have exclusive rights to any return flows from the reservoir. The rights shall be subject to regulatory requirements imposed by the state and to the availability of unused storage capacity within the reservoir.
The act also repeals a provision stating that the Clean Water Commission shall not adopt or recommend a clean water fee exceeding $5,000.
