Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
1902, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE WATER CODE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

developments located in designated water management areas.

     The Department of Land and Natural Resources testified in

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Finance,
