The bill amends and reenacts specific sections of the Louisiana Revised Statutes related to the capital area groundwater conservation district. It updates the definition of "Commissioner" to specify that commissioners are appointed rather than elected. Additionally, it revises the appointment process for board members, replacing the previous requirement for nominations from industrial users with nominations from various educational and industrial organizations, including Louisiana State University and the Louisiana Chemical Association. The bill also introduces a new provision that outlines the criteria for users' metering devices, ensuring they meet specific operational and accuracy standards.

Furthermore, the bill grants the board the authority to audit the performance of flow measurement devices installed by users, with the ability to temporarily install additional measurement devices to verify compliance. It also repeals a previous provision related to the board's powers. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the governance and operational standards of the groundwater conservation district while ensuring effective oversight of water usage and measurement practices.
