The bill amends section 30-127.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing the Arizona power authority's operations in relation to water rights. The new language clarifies that the provisions of sections 30-123, 30-123.01, 30-124, and 30-127, as well as the amended section, will not interfere with existing state laws regarding the control, appropriation, use, or distribution of water for irrigation.
Additionally, the bill emphasizes that the authority must act in conformity with these water laws and does not alter any rights held by the state or landowners concerning water from interstate or intrastate streams. The changes primarily involve the removal of outdated language and the insertion of clearer terms to ensure that the authority's actions remain aligned with established water rights and regulations.
