Revises provisions relating to water. (BDR 48-887)

AB 265 streamlines Nevada's water permit process by setting strict deadlines for the State Engineer's office. It requires notifying applicants when a committee reviews their permit application and mandates that reviews be completed within 30 days (if no protests are filed) or 60 days (if protests are filed). The bill also requires the State Engineer to decide on extension requests within 30 days, issue permits within 14 days after fees are paid, and complete conveyance report reviews within 14 days. These changes directly affect water permit applicants, developers seeking water rights, and the State Engineer's Division of Water Resources. The bill focuses on procedural efficiency, not altering water rights or usage rules.
