State proposes sweeping rights over waterways and power
The governor urges passage of a state rights bill authorizing state ownership of navigable waters and shorelines, joint control with federal authorities on power and dams, and a framework to regulate water use and power rates. It outlines land and water rights, permit terms, and compensation structures, with sections defining ownership, permits, cooperation with the federal government, and enforcement timelines.
