HB1071 requires people who report surface water quality problems to sign a formal written complaint before the state can investigate. The complaint and the identity of the person filing it will be kept confidential by the state board and secretary, protecting the complainant's privacy while ensuring the state still responds to and investigates reported water quality issues.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
