SB 2661 increases civil penalties for violations of groundwater conservation district rules. It raises the maximum penalty from $10,000 to $25,000 per day per violation. Additionally, courts can impose even higher penalties if the violator gains an economic benefit exceeding the maximum fine. This change is aimed at discouraging rule violations and ensuring penalties outweigh financial benefits gained from non-compliance.
