The proposed bill seeks to amend section 45-557 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding the requirements for entities to demonstrate their capacity to accept and utilize central Arizona project water. Under current law, the statute specifies that entities must show they have the physical capacity to accept delivery of ninety-five per cent of their water entitlement, and they must have accepted delivery of or exchanged eighty per cent or more of the available water in the preceding years. The bill introduces percent in place of per cent in both instances, modernizing the terminology used in the statute. This change does not alter the substantive requirements but updates the language for clarity and consistency with contemporary usage. Overall, the bill aims to ensure that the legal language reflects current standards while maintaining the existing regulatory framework.
