What’s in it

This bill requires the department of natural resources and the division of soil conservation and water quality within the department of agriculture and land stewardship to publish a report regarding any project or program supported by state moneys that establishes benchmarks in achieving water quality objectives or goals. The reports must be published on an internet site administered jointly by the two agencies.
