The original instrument and the following digest, which constitutes no part of the legislative instrument, were prepared by McHenry Lee. DIGEST Long (SB 141) Present law allows a person or entity to enter into a cooperative endeavor agreement to withdraw running surface water. Present law requires that a cooperative endeavor agreement to withdraw running surface water will have an initial term not to exceed two years. Further requires that no new cooperative endeavor agreement can be entered into for which an application was received by DNR after December 31, 2014. Proposed law retains present law but extends the date for which an application can be received from December 31, 2014, to December 31, 2016. Present law provides that a person or entity who enters into a cooperative endeavor agreement to withdraw running surface waters may terminate such agreement after December 31, 2014. Proposed law retains present law but extends the termination date from December 31, 2014, to December 31, 2016. Effective August 1, 2014. (Amends R.S. 30:961(E))
