The bill revises laws concerning state lands and water rights, specifically prohibiting the Board of Land Commissioners from acquiring ownership of private water rights used on state lands. It amends existing sections of the law to allow lessees of state lands to register improvements made on those lands, including water rights, prior to a specified date. Additionally, it establishes that owners of registered improvements are entitled to compensation when a new lessee takes over the land, ensuring that the reasonable value of these improvements is recognized.

Significant deletions from current law include the elimination of the water court's duty to adjudicate water rights by July 1, 2030, and the requirement for the sale of isolated parcels with water rights to lessees. The bill also repeals numerous sections related to the adjudication of water rights, streamlining the legal framework surrounding these issues. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
