HB2902 is a bill that contains provisions related to the environment to implement the FY 2025 budget for the state of Arizona. The bill makes several amendments to existing statutes and establishes appropriations for various environmental and emergency management funds. Key changes include renaming the Emergency Management Training Fund to the Emergency Management Training Revolving Fund, clarifying the sources of the fund, and exempting the fund from lapsing. It also increases the excess amount of monies in the Arizona State Parks Store Fund that revert to the State Parks Revenue Fund at the end of a fiscal year.

The bill allows eligible entities to apply for grants to distribute rebates for the installation of gray water systems and exempts the Fire Incident Management Fund from lapsing, with a repeal date set for July 1, 2025. Additionally, it authorizes the use of funds for administrative costs and remediation of sewage discharge issues in border areas, permits the use of monies for legal fees, and limits the transfer to the Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund. It also directs the reduction of vehicle emissions testing fees and exempts the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality from rulemaking requirements for setting fees until July 1, 2025. Lastly, it authorizes the Arizona Department of Agriculture to lower existing fees and adopt emergency rules for modifying fees, and it allows the Governor to allocate funds to specific revolving funds within the prescribed aggregate amount for FY 2025.
