Relating to the eligibility of certain engineering firms to participate in the construction of a reservoir.

SB 2115 prohibits engineering firms that previously prepared state water plans, regional water plans, or evaluated project feasibility in those plans from participating in reservoir construction at sites designated as "unique value" in the state water plan. This directly affects engineering firms with prior contracts related to water planning. The bill adds a new restriction to the Water Code, banning such firms from reservoir projects if they were contracted for any of the three specified planning activities. The law takes effect on September 1, 2025.
