Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to provide that the forfeiture period restarts upon removal of a water right from the water supply bank.

In Idaho, a water right may be lost to forfeiture after five years of nonuse. Water rights that are placed in the water supply bank are protected from forfeiture. This bill amends Idaho Code § 42-1764 to provide that the five year forfeiture clock starts over when the water right is removed from the water supply bank.
