It will be provided every week during the legislative session to inform KWA members, BAC chairs, KWO staff and other interested persons of legislative activity on water-related issues. This is the sixth installment.
Bills listed for the first time are in boldface.
Several new water-related bills were introduced the week of February 12. Hearings were held on a number of bills we are tracking, some of which have now made it through their house of origin. Changes in bill status are given for each bill listed. In addition, the bill allows the renovation or reconstruction of an existing dam or lake if certain criteria are met. The sponsor has withdrawn the bill, since HB 2133 addresses similar issues.
