Staff Analysis of the Legislation
Enacted by HB 117 in 2008, the Instream Flow to Protect Habitat was a 10-year pilot program to allow a water right to be leased to a fishing group in order to protect trout habitat. This bill proposes to repeal the sunset provision so that the program can continue and is recommended by the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Interim Committee.
