DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES – Repeals existing law to remove outdated or unnecessary provisions.

This bill removes several outdated sections from Idaho's water resources laws, including provisions related to groundwater recharge, a director's report requirement, a water conservation trust account, and multiple sections of the Salmon Falls Creek Water Compact. The legislation directly affects the Idaho Department of Water Resources by eliminating these specific legal requirements that have been identified as obsolete or unnecessary. By repealing these sections, the bill aims to streamline state laws and ensure they remain current and essential for public welfare. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026, and do not alter any active water management programs or agreements currently in place.
