The proposed bill amends Arizona's water supply regulations for subdivisions by repealing exemptions that allowed for approval of subdivisions with inadequate water supplies. It mandates that subdivisions must have an adequate water supply, as determined by the director of water resources, before final plat approval or the issuance of a public report for sale or lease. The bill also makes minor language updates, such as standardizing the term "percent" and replacing "upon" with "on."

Additionally, the bill clarifies legal responsibilities regarding ownership interests, rescission actions, and attorney fees. It aligns certain practices with state racketeering laws and requires subdividers to record a document if lots are served by an inadequate water supply. Cities, towns, or counties are restricted from approving subdivision plats without an adequate water supply or a written commitment from a water service provider. References to obsolete statutes are removed, reinforcing the focus on water supply adequacy in real estate transactions.
