The bill proposes amendments to section 45-557 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to groundwater management. The changes involve updating the language from "per cent" to "percent" in two instances within the existing law. The first instance is in the requirement for an entity to demonstrate the physical capacity to accept delivery of 95 percent of its Central Arizona Project (CAP) water entitlement. The second instance is in the requirement for an entity to have accepted delivery of or exchanged at least 80 percent of the CAP water available to it in at least one of the past three years before it can begin using groundwater transported away from a groundwater basin or sub-basin. The bill does not introduce any new requirements or alter the percentages; it merely standardizes the spelling of "percent" in the legal text.
