AI Summary

  • Requires applicants for building permits on new residential single-family homes to disclose ownership interests in the property, unless a subdivision final plat with assured water supply is provided.

  • Establishes "physical availability exemption credits" allowing owners of irrigation grandfathered rights to permanently relinquish those rights in exchange for groundwater use exemptions for non-irrigated development, with volume calculated based on relinquishment date and active management area type.

  • Prohibits municipal providers in initial Active Management Areas from applying potable water to nonfunctional turf in new or redevelopment projects, and prevents municipalities from requiring minimum turf or non-drought-tolerant plants except for functional recreational and civic uses.

  • Clarifies that familial relationships, well share agreements, road maintenance agreements, and use of the same contractor alone do not constitute unlawful "acting in concert" to avoid subdivision laws requiring a public report for six or more lots.

  • Adds disclosure requirements to property sale affidavits regarding water transportation services and battery energy storage devices, and requires land division applicants to attest understanding of subdivision law public report requirements.
