If this bill were to become law, it would amend section 45-103 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by inserting the word "of" after "supervision" in the current statute. The current law states that the director has general control and supervision of surface water, its appropriation and distribution, and of groundwater, with certain exceptions regarding water distribution reserved for special officers appointed by courts.
The bill does not make any deletions to the existing language but rather makes a minor insertion that clarifies the director's supervisory role over groundwater. Overall, the changes are minimal and do not significantly alter the existing framework of water management as outlined in the current statute.
