Adjudication of rights - Suit
Official statutory text
When the Board determines the best interests of the claimants to
the use of water from a stream system will be served by a
determination of all rights to the use of water of such system, the
Board may institute a suit on behalf of the state for the
determination of all rights to the use of such water and shall
diligently prosecute the same to a final adjudication. The cost of
such suit, including the costs on behalf of the state, shall be
charged against each of the parties thereto in proportion to the
amount of water rights allotted. Provided that after the effective
date of June 10, 1963, neither the bringing of such suit nor an
adjudication in such a suit shall be a condition precedent to the
granting of permits and licenses as authorized by this act.
