Diligence Claims Water Amendments

Summary

The bill clarifies how individuals file water‑use claims with the state engineer, adds a special presumption that owners of small homestead parcels may use water for livestock ponds without a formal certificate, and outlines how those claims can be challenged in court. It affects landowners, other water users, and the state engineer by setting filing forms, investigation steps, and a process to rebut the presumption.
