2003 House Bill 1536
Introduced by Rep. Janéa Holmquist (R) on January 28, 2003
To modify the definition of “annual consumptive quantity." With this bill, the annual consumptive quantity of a water right may not be deemed to be less than the actual peak historic use of a water right, even if the right is not being fully exercised at the time of change or transfer, if: the reduced use is due to cropping patterns or system efficiencies; the water right holder intends to fully exercise the right; and the water right holder has the ability to make beneficial use of the full right. See also Companion SB 5106.   Official Text and Analysis.
Referred to the House Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee on January 29, 2003
But the bill did not receive a hearing by the cutoff date so it is considered a “dead bill” (although technically the bill could become active at any time during the 2003-2004 session).
