LPC heard state water officials on HB 501; water-fee substitute expected
Summary
LPC reported a briefing from drinking-water and water-quality officials on HB 501; LPC staff expect a substitute on the water-fees bill and will share it when available for member review.
Unidentified Speaker told LPC attendees that officials from Drinking Water and Water Quality joined the meeting to answer questions about HB 501. The speaker noted uncertainty in the transcript about whether those entities are "departments" or "divisions" and apologized for the potential mislabeling.
The speaker said LPC is "expecting another sub to come out on the water fees bill" and that staff will circulate the substitute when it is released so members can determine whether the changes address LPC's concerns. No specific fee amounts or statutory citations for the water-fees bill were provided in the transcript.
Unidentified Speaker closed the item by advising members to reach out with questions and to watch for LPC communications when the substitute is available.
