The bill HB2013 amends the existing law regarding water improvement programs in Arizona by allowing nonprofit corporations, in addition to county boards of supervisors, to establish and administer these programs. This change broadens the scope of entities that can provide financial assistance to qualified owners of residential properties for improvements to drinking water wells or water delivery systems.

Under the new provisions, both the nonprofit corporation and the county board of supervisors are required to designate an entity to operate the program, establish grant criteria, and award grants. Additionally, the entity operating the program must submit an annual report to either the county board of supervisors or the nonprofit corporation, detailing program operations and financial contributions. This amendment aims to enhance the capacity for managing water improvement initiatives by involving nonprofit organizations in the process.
