This bill modifies the Legislative Water Development Commission by changing membership requirements from fixed numbers to minimums and removing partisan restrictions on appointments. The changes allow for greater flexibility in selecting commission members while maintaining bipartisan representation through new minority party requirements.

Changed House membership from exactly eight members to a minimum of two members, with a new requirement that at least one member come from the minority political party.

Removed previous restrictions limiting the number of commission members who could belong to the same political party.
