§ 103D.521 — Rights Assured Due Process of Law

Plain-Language Summary

No one can lose an existing beneficial water use or right under the Watershed Law without due process of law. This means the government must follow fair procedures before taking away someone's established rights.

Practical Notes
This section provides a constitutional protection for property owners. If a watershed district action threatens your existing water rights, you are entitled to notice and a chance to be heard before those rights can be taken away.
