AB 1972: Water right permits and licenses: annual fee: exemption.

The bill aims to exempt individuals who hold water right permits or licenses from paying an annual fee if they have a pond with 20 acre-feet or less of water. This exemption would be based on a specific regulation established by the state water resources control board. The existing law requires payment of a fee according to a fee schedule, but this bill would provide a more lenient requirement for small water users.
