This bill provides the state funding allocations for various water development projects including many county or municipal projects. WAM considers this a priority bill to monitor not only to ensure the funding of important local water projects but also the outcome of the future un-obligated funding. WAM ACTION: 2/21/17, bill passed House COW on third reading consent list. 2/15/17 Passed House COW on second reading. WAM ACTION: 2/7/18, bill passed Agriculture Committee 5-0. WAM Action Taken: 1/23/17 Rick Kaysen, Andi Summerville, and Laurie Heath attended JAC meetings where the planning and construction bills were moved to floor. It appears these projects will be funded but future water projects will have limited funds. |
