This bill proposes the establishment of the Office of Resiliency within the Governor's office, which will be tasked with addressing the impacts of climate change on Arizona's water and natural resources. The Governor will appoint a director for this office, who will serve at the Governor's discretion and will be eligible for compensation as outlined in existing statutes. The office will also provide advice on various policy areas related to water, land use, transportation, and energy, and will develop a resiliency plan aimed at protecting the state's human population and economic systems from climate-related risks.

Additionally, the bill mandates that state agencies identify and assess potential risks to various systems, including water resources, temperature-sensitive populations, energy systems, transportation systems, vital infrastructure, and natural lands. Notably, the bill also includes the repeal of Title 49, Chapter 1, Article 6 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, indicating a significant shift in the legal framework governing environmental policies in the state.
