Water Leasing Amendments

Summary

The bill sets up a Great Salt Lake Preservation Program and a Preservation Board that will oversee and streamline leases of water to help sustain the lake. It gives the existing Great Salt Lake commissioner authority to facilitate those leases, makes the program’s funding non‑lapsing, and earmarks $5 million for FY 2027. The changes also repeal or amend a number of older water‑banking and agricultural water statutes.
