HB 2620 modifies regional water planning processes by restricting the inclusion of out-of-region water supplies that require eminent domain. A regional water planning group can only propose using such a source if it first demonstrates that all local sources, including desalination and conservation projects, are insufficient to meet future water needs. The planning group must also submit an analysis of potential negative ecological, economic, and educational impacts on the affected area and propose a mitigation plan.
