The bill establishes a six-year pilot project called the "High School Water Management and Conservation Project," which will be administered by the Public Education Department. The project aims to provide practical environmental education to high school students by developing academic content, performance standards, and a model curriculum for an elective course in water management and conservation. The department is tasked with selecting at least five school districts from various regions, awarding financial assistance grants for course-related expenses, and collecting data on student participation and performance, as well as their post-graduation plans.

Additionally, the bill allows for collaboration with the Department of Environment, post-secondary educational institutions, and local governments to address water management issues and create potential employment or educational opportunities for students. The department is required to submit annual reports to the legislative education study committee and a final report by June 30, 2031. An appropriation of $1,250,000 is allocated from the general fund for the project's administration from fiscal years 2026 through 2031, with any unspent funds reverting to the general fund at the end of the project.
