Committee approves small litigation authority for river-basin defense
Summary
The committee approved a $75,000 intra‑fund authority to allow the Department of Law to begin water‑basin litigation preparations in FY25–26; staff will address leased-space adjustments later in a group presentation.
Scott Thompson, JBC staff, asked the committee to approve a limited supplemental request to move $75,000 in cash funds to provide litigation spending authority in the Department of Law for river‑basin legal work. Thompson said the request is primarily spending authority and depends on CWCB and water projects bill allocations for the litigation fund.
Representative Taggart confirmed the FY25–26 supplemental was limited to $75,000 for the current year; the committee approved the request unanimously. Thompson withheld recommendation on a separate leased‑space adjustment pending a broader presentation next week.
