WATER RIGHTS -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding notification of change in ownership of water rights.

WATER RIGHTS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This legislation will amend Section 42-248 to provide notice of water right ownership changes to landowners in circumstances where the water rights used on the land are owned by a third party to remove outdated provisions and to improve readability. Clarifying that a change of ownership in the records of the Department of Water Resources is not a determination of ownership and it's not an administrative action subject to challenge. Disputes over water right ownership should be addressed through a quiet title action.
