Iowa HF2210 amends water allocation laws to remove a specific definition of beneficial use and prioritizes permit processing.
Iowa HF2210 modifies water allocation regulations by eliminating a specific definition of "beneficial use" and establishing a new process for permit applications. The bill removes the previous definition of beneficial use and mandates that the department of natural resources determine beneficial use on a case-by-case basis when considering permit applications. It prioritizes permit processing based on the order of application receipt, unless public health, safety, or welfare is at risk.
