§ 46-5-32. Assignment of application, permit, or license.
Subject to the limitations provided in §§ 46-5-33 and 46-5-34, any application, permit, or license to appropriate water, including a permit issued under § 46-5-8.1, may be assigned, but no assignment is binding, except upon the parties thereto, unless filed for record with the chief engineer. No assignment may carry with it the right to use the water for any purpose or in any manner other than that specified in the application, permit, or license without the approval of the Water Management Board. Transfer of an application to appropriate water does not confer any right to use of water. The evidence of the right to use water from any works constructed by the United States, or its duly authorized agencies, shall in like manner be filed with the chief engineer, upon assignment. A sale, grant, conveyance, assignment, lease, or other transfer of a permit or license issued under § 46-5-8.1 may be assigned only in accordance with the terms of the contract or instrument of conveyance between the district and the energy industry user.
