This bill proposes updates to the current statutes regarding the Water Conservation Grant Fund by introducing new disclosure requirements for eligible entities applying for grants. Specifically, it mandates that entities receiving water from a multi-county water conservation district must disclose projected water savings, the source of the water to be saved, whether it is groundwater or surface water, and their plan for the saved water. These requirements are to be added as new subsections under section 49-1333, while maintaining the existing definitions and provisions of the current law.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "eligible entity" to align with existing statutes and requires the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) to adopt rules to implement these new disclosure requirements within 90 days of the bill's effective date. The language also makes minor technical adjustments, such as changing "nongovernment" to "nongovernmental," but does not alter the core structure of the existing law. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the grant application process for water conservation projects.
