The bill creates the Water Resources and Economic Development Study Committee. The Committee is to consist of two members of the House of Representatives, two members of the Senate, and members appointed by the Governor variously representing state agencies, local governments, conservancy districts, water and sewer districts, soil and water conservation districts, professional engineers, port authorities, and nonprofit organizations. Within one year after the bill's effective date, the Committee is to prepare and submit a report to the General Assembly that (1) evaluates Ohio's water resources and the best ways in which those resources can be used for economic development purposes, and (2) makes recommendations to the General Assembly regarding any policy changes needed to accomplish this goal. Although the bill specifies that members are to serve without compensation, the House and Senate might incur some negligible GRF costs for providing support to the committee, covering any travel for committee business, and producing the final report.
