11:43 AM -- HB 16-1109
Senator Sonnenberg and Senator Donovan, co-prime sponsors, discussed the provisions of House Bill 16-1109 concerning the application of state water law to federal agencies.

The bill prohibits the State Engineer and the division engineers in the Department of Natural Resources from enforcing or administering efforts by the United States Forest Service (USFS) or Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that require a full or partial transfer of ownership in a water right to the USFS or the BLM; restricts the use or alienability of the water right as a condition for an authorization to use federally owned lands; or requires a third party that supplies water to a federal special use permit holder to supply the water for a set period of time or in a set amount.
The following person testified on the bill:
11:45 AM -- Kristen Moseley, representing Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Clinton Ditch and Reservoir Company, Eagle Park Reservoir Company, and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, spoke in support of the bill.
