Caucus concurs with 10-year temporary moratorium on irrigation expansion in bill
Summary
Representative Griffin said House Bill 2570 would block irrigation expansion for a 10-year period, with a review at the end of the term to continue or dissolve the restriction.
Representative Griffin told the caucus she concurs with the Senate amendments to House Bill 2570 and described a temporary non-expansion policy for irrigation.
Griffin said the bill "requires the temporary non expansion irrigation for a 10 year period instead of a permanent fix. It stops any expansion for a 10 year period. At the end of the 10 year, there's a review of the water situation and can be continued, or dissolved."
Caucus discussion framed the measure as a time-limited tool to prevent irrigation expansion while state water conditions are reviewed. The transcript records the concurrence and Griffin's explanation; no formal roll-call vote or budgetary specifics were recorded in the provided caucus excerpt.
