RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 66 (HB 181) 2020 Regular Session Riser
Existing law allows a person or entity to enter into a cooperative endeavor agreement to
withdraw running surface water. Specifies that the initial term cannot exceed two years.
Prior law specified that no new cooperative endeavor agreement could be entered into for
which an application was received by the Dept. of Natural Resources after Dec. 31, 2020.
New law repeals prior law.
Prior law authorized renewal of agreements in two-year increments but specified that such
agreements could terminate no later than Dec. 31, 2028.
New law removes the Dec. 31, 2028, termination date applicable to the two-year renewals
of existing agreements.
Effective Aug. 1, 2020.
