Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 1114 clarifies steps regarding how water availability is assessed and certified for applicants requesting a certificate of assured water supply. Most notably, the amendment adds specific language about the requirement for a sworn statement from applicants agreeing to reduce the groundwater volume by 15% after certification. This change ensures a more precise approach to managing water resources, which is especially important in areas facing water scarcity. Ultimately, these adjustments aim to enhance the reliability of groundwater assessments and promote sustainable water use practices.
