SB0051s1 - Water Right Transfer Amendments

State Impact:
This bill appropriates $130,000 from ongoing General Funds to the Division of Water Rights for advice and technical assistance to water corporations and their shareholders.

Individual and Business Impact:
Positions created in the State Engineer's office should result in a cost savings by water corporations and shareholders when change requests are processed. Shareholders may benefit by being able to make changes in the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use of the shareholder's water, subject to consent by the water corporation.
