Relating to voluntary agreements among ground water users.

HB 3801 creates a formal process for groundwater users in Oregon to form voluntary agreements to manage shared water resources. The Water Resources Commission must approve written agreements that promote long-term groundwater stability, protect economic viability for users, and align with existing water laws - without requiring specific water-use reductions or minimum participation. Approved agreements become binding, replacing formal commission rules until terminated by mutual consent, agreement expiration, or a Commission order for non-compliance or changed conditions. This directly affects groundwater users (like farmers and communities) and requires them to report annual water use and meter wells under the agreement.
