Create a fund and change provisions relating to water well fees, use of funds, and powers and duties of the Department of Water, Energy, and Environment

Nebraska's LB 761 creates a new fund and adjusts water well registration fees for different well types. It changes fee amounts for industrial wells, geothermal installations, monitoring wells, and irrigation systems, requiring specific registration fees based on use. The bill redirects $1.384 million annually from the Integrated Solid Waste Management Fund to the Superfund Cost Share Fund, as specified in existing law. These changes affect well owners who pay registration fees and the Department of Water, Energy, and Environment, which manages the funds and fee collection.
