Groundwater: de minimis extractors: fees: exemption.

Summary

The bill lets groundwater sustainability agencies exempt "de minimis" extractors from monitoring or management fees when the fee mainly benefits other users and any benefit to the tiny users is incidental. It also requires the Department of Water Resources to build and run a public, integrated water‑data platform, with a series of deadlines for adding state, federal and ecological data. The changes aim to reduce unnecessary costs for small users and improve transparency and coordination of water information across agencies.
