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 value of these improvements is recognized and compensated accordingly.

Furthermore, the bill repeals several sections related to the adjudication of water rights and eliminates the water court's duty to adjudicate water rights by a certain date. It also includes provisions for the immediate effective date of the act upon passage and approval. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the management of state lands and water rights while protecting the interests of lessees.
