Where it stands
House: INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
The committee finds that existing law already provides municipalities and the state with authority to address water supply, groundwater protection, and environmental impacts through planning, zoning, and subdivision review. This bill would authorize additional discretionary local requirements, including water studies, private well testing, and expanded cost assessments, which could increase regulatory complexity and development costs without clear, uniform standards. The committee believes land-use regulation should remain predictable and proportional, and that current statutes already strike an appropriate balance between water resource protection and property rights. For these reasons, the committee recommends Inexpedient to Legislate on this bill. Vote 17-1.
