The bill HB2055 amends the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the review process for underground water storage permits by extending the review period from 100 days to 180 days. Additionally, it modifies the timeline for the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) to issue a decision on applications, changing it from six months to 100 days after the notice of application. The bill also includes technical changes and clarifies that these time frame modifications apply to all types of underground water storage facility permits.

Overall, the key differences between current law and the proposed bill are the extension of the review period for applications and the reduction of the decision issuance timeline. The bill aims to streamline the permitting process while ensuring thorough consideration of applications for underground water storage.
