This bill amends Chapter 17, Title 42 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 42-1734J, which mandates the Idaho water resource board to establish a managed recharge goal for the eastern Snake Plain aquifer. Specifically, the board is required to revise existing state water plan policies and the comprehensive aquifer management plan to set a target of 350,000 acre-feet of managed recharge on an average annual basis.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This urgency underscores the importance of addressing water management in the region to ensure sustainable use of the aquifer resources.
