 2    STATING LEGISLATIVE  FINDINGS  AND  AUTHORIZING  THE  LEGISLATIVE  COUNCIL  TO

 5    Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

 6        WHEREAS,  a study regarding the State Water Plan conducted in 1977 consid-
 7    ered several options concerning the state's water resources; and
 8        WHEREAS, the proposal for consolidation of water quantity and water  qual-
 9    ity was determined to be too vague; and
10        WHEREAS,  there  exists a duplication of effort and a lack of coordination
11    between the Department of Water Resources and Department of Health and Welfare
12    regarding water quality matters; and
13        WHEREAS, there is a significant potential for conflicts to  occur  between
14    water  quantity  administration  and allocation and water quality programs and
15    standards.
16        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session
17    of the Fifty-fifth Idaho Legislature, the House  of  Representatives  and  the
18    Senate  concurring  therein,  that  the  Legislative  Council is authorized to
19    appoint a Committee to undertake and complete a study of the potential consol-
20    idation of water quantity and water quality planning and administration  under
21    the auspices of one entity. The Legislative Council shall determine the number
22    of  legislators  and membership from each house appointed to the Committee and
23    shall authorize the Committee to receive input,  advice  and  assistance  from
24    interested and affected parties who are not members of the Legislature.
25        BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that nonlegislative members of the Committee may be
26    appointed  by  the cochairs of the Committee who are appointed by the Legisla-
27    tive Council. Nonlegislative members of the advisory committee  shall  not  be
28    reimbursed  from legislative funds for per diem, mileage or other expenses and

31        BE  IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Committee shall make a progress report to
32    the Second Regular Session of the Fifty-fifth Idaho Legislature and shall make
33    a report detailing its findings, recommendations and proposed legislation,  if
34    any, to the First Regular Session of the Fifty-sixth Idaho Legislature.
