Nevada AB363 revises groundwater board provisions, including membership, compensation, and dissolution.

Nevada AB363 amends the establishment, membership, and duties of groundwater boards. The bill specifies that the Governor appoints seven members to each groundwater board, with four members holding water permits or certificates, two with junior priority water rights, and one with the greatest groundwater quantity. Members serve without compensation and the board must dissolve after four years unless extended by the State Engineer. The bill also mandates the State Engineer to consider groundwater board recommendations on reducing overpumping.
