Senate Natural Resources hearing Tuesday, March 1
The Senate Natural Resources Committee has scheduled SB 332 by Fraser and SB 667 by Duncan for public hearing Tuesday, March 1 at 9 am in E1.012 at the Capitol. SB 332 would attempt to clarify groundwater ownership but, unfortunately, would not affect rules of a groundwater conservation district enacted before the bill would go into effect. SB 667 would allow districts to treat groundwater as if it is state-owned.
TLC will support SB 332 and oppose SB 667.

TLC will support this bill.
