DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES – Repeals existing law to remove outdated or unnecessary provisions.

This bill repeals multiple outdated Idaho Code sections related to water resources, including provisions about groundwater recharge, water conservation trust accounts, and specific water compacts (like the Salmon Falls Creek and Columbia Interstate Compacts). It directly affects the Department of Water Resources by removing obsolete legal requirements from its operational framework. The bill's purpose is to streamline Idaho's water law code, ensuring it remains current and essential for public administration.
