If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $250,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026 to the State Natural Resource Conservation Board. This funding is specifically designated for the cleaning and restoration of artificial groundwater recharge facilities that are located in a groundwater basin designated as a subsequent active management area and that provide flood control benefits.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from lapsing, which means the allocated funds would not expire at the end of the fiscal year as typically required under current law. The bill's language clarifies the specific conditions under which the funds can be utilized, ensuring they are directed towards facilities that meet the outlined criteria.
