Bill overview
This bill updates California’s process for determining water rights within a stream system. It requires the State Water Resources Control Board to investigate water use in detail, potentially issuing information orders to water users to submit reports on their water usage. The bill also establishes a 75-day deadline for responding to these information orders and clarifies procedures for reconsideration and judicial review of the board’s decisions. It aims to improve the board’s ability to gather comprehensive data during water right adjudications.
