Caption: Relating to the adoption of a water conservation program by certain counties. Initially Referred to House Natural Resources Committee, chaired by a Republican
HB 2347 applies only to counties that contain, wholly or partly, a priority groundwater management area as designated under the Water Code. It allows these counties to establish water conservation standards for new developments, redevelopments, and subdivisions in unincorporated areas but exempts agricultural operations. Municipal ordinances take precedence over county conservation orders in cases of conflict.
