Bill overview
This bill, the Public Water Supply Invasive Species Compliance Act of 2019, aims to reduce disruptions to water transfers between Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana while protecting native species. It exempts certain water transfers containing prohibited species from Lacey Act regulations, provided specific conditions are met, such as the species being present in both water sources, effective mitigation measures being in place, or the water being transferred through a closed system to treatment facilities. The bill also requires notification of these transfers to ensure transparency and allows for the financial responsibility for mitigation costs to fall on the entity profiting from the water sale.
