Summary

Existing law regulates water transfers and, among other things, allows a permittee or licensee to temporarily change the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use due to a transfer or exchange of water or water rights if the transfer would only involve the amount of water that would have been consumptively used or stored by the permittee or licensee in the absence of the proposed temporary change, would not injure any legal user of the water, and would not unreasonably affect fish, wildlife, or other instream beneficial uses. Under existing law, any water right determined under a court decree issued after January 1, 1981, is transferable, as specified. This bill would eliminate the requirement that the court decree be issued after January 1, 1981.
