If this bill were to become law, it would amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 45-581, to title 45, chapter 2, article 9, which pertains to groundwater management. The new provision would require that thirty days prior to the issuance of a report on the hydrologic conditions of an Active Management Area, or any related report, the governor and the director must submit a copy of the report to the members of the Senate Natural Resources Committee and the House of Representatives Natural Resources, Energy and Water Committee, or their successor committees.
The bill does not alter any existing statutes, as it only introduces new requirements for report submissions without deleting or modifying any current legal language. This addition aims to enhance transparency and communication regarding groundwater management issues within the state.
