SB1289 is a bill that mandates the Governor and the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) to submit a copy of any report on the hydrologic conditions of an Active Management Area (AMA) or any related report concerning groundwater code to the members of the Natural Resources, Energy and Water committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate, or their successor committees, 30 days before the report is issued.

The bill was vetoed by the Governor, who argued that it would burden ADWR with unnecessary paperwork and bureaucracy, hindering its mission to ensure a sustainable water future for Arizona. Despite this, the bill's provisions aimed to increase legislative oversight and transparency regarding the state's hydrologic data and groundwater management efforts.
