If this bill were to become law, it would update current statutes by adding a new provision that urges the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) and the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) to focus on increasing groundwater recharge through infrastructure projects. This insertion emphasizes the importance of groundwater recharge and highlights the need for investment in rural communities.

The bill would not alter any existing statutes, as it only introduces new language without deleting or modifying current legal text. The addition of this provision reflects the Legislature's interest in enhancing groundwater management and infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, thereby promoting sustainable water resource practices.
