Revises provisions relating to the adjudication of vested water rights. (BDR 48-260)

SB 31 clarifies deadlines and notice requirements for water rights claims in Nevada. It removes the December 31, 2027, deadline for federal agencies to submit proof of their water rights claims (as they are exempt under federal law), while requiring them to prove claims by a future date set by the State Engineer. The bill updates notice rules for 2028 onward to explicitly state that federal agencies must submit proof of reserved water rights, alongside other claimants. This directly affects federal agencies managing water rights in Nevada, as well as state agencies administering water adjudication. The changes aim to align state procedures with federal consent under 43 U.S.C. § 666.
