Requesting the Department of Land and Natural Resources to consider dam liability insurance in their assessment process for private dam owners.

The bill urges the Department of Land and Natural Resources to incorporate the possession or active seeking of dam liability insurance by private dam owners into their assessment process.

The bill aims to assist private dam owners who face barriers in maintaining dams or reservoirs due to lack of specialized knowledge, financial capacity, or ability to locate assessment firms.
