The bill proposes to amend section 49-117 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding supplemental environmental projects initiated or accepted by the department of environmental quality. Under current law, these projects must comply with certain requirements, including advancing at least one objective of the relevant environmental statutes and having an adequate nexus.

The key update in the bill is the grammatical correction of the word "apply" to "applies" in the context of defining when a nexus exists for these projects. This change clarifies the language without altering the substantive requirements that must be met for a project to qualify as a supplemental environmental project.
