The bill would have required municipalities to charge owners of property with waterfront access ($100 per year) or deeded water rights ($50 per year) to water bodies impounded by state‑owned dams, with an optional $5 admin fee. Collected money would go to a Dam Maintenance Fund for repair, operation and safety projects on those dams. The measure failed to pass, dying on the table in August 2026.
