STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28222 / S1005
This amendment clarifies the interface between this chapter and when a water user conveys water pursuant
to Idaho Code §42-105 (1). This amendment clarifies that when water is diverted and assessed in one water
district but is conveyed and rediverted within a second water district, the second district may levy a fee instead
of an assessment for that water that is rediverted. Further, any authorized fees that are levied are not considered
an assessment and are not part of a water user's voting credentials for voting within the second water district.
FISCAL NOTE
These amendments involve the process for water districts, and, therefore, will have no impact on the General
Fund.
