Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HB 95, the language has been adjusted to clarify that once water is designated as outstanding national resource water by the state, this designation can only be established or reversed through a formal statute. This change is significant because it emphasizes the importance of legislative oversight in managing valuable water resources, ensuring that such decisions are not made easily or without proper legislative process.
