The proposed bill seeks to amend section 30-104 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, focusing on the relationship between the Arizona Power Authority and other state departments. The current law mandates that the Arizona Power Authority cooperate with the state land department and the director of water resources in their respective roles concerning water resources and hydroelectric power generation.
The new bill language introduces a requirement for the director of water resources to coordinate and confer with the Arizona Power Authority on matters related to surface water, groundwater, and the development of state water plans. This change emphasizes a two-way cooperative relationship between the director of water resources and the Arizona Power Authority, ensuring that both entities work together in the performance of their duties related to water resource management and planning.
