The bill aims to allow subdivision applicants to identify the locations of water wells on their applications, thereby enhancing the transparency and planning of water resource management in new developments. It includes revisions to existing definitions related to water well locations, ensuring that the terminology used in the law is clear and consistent with the new provisions.

Additionally, the bill amends specific sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), namely 76-3-622, 76-4-102, and 76-4-104, to incorporate these changes. The legislation is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting the urgency of addressing water well identification in subdivision planning.
