The proposed bill, if enacted, would introduce new provisions to the existing statutes regarding the appropriation of funds for the maintenance of artificial groundwater recharge facilities. Specifically, it would appropriate an unspecified amount of money from the state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to a designated department for the purpose of cleaning and restoring these facilities. The bill stipulates that the facilities must be located in a groundwater basin designated as a subsequent active management area and must provide flood control benefits.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts the appropriation from lapsing, which means that the allocated funds would not expire at the end of the fiscal year, allowing for continued use in subsequent years. This change aims to ensure that necessary maintenance and restoration efforts for groundwater recharge facilities can be effectively funded and executed without the risk of losing allocated resources.
