If this bill were to become law, it would introduce a new provision urging the Arizona State mine inspector and the director of environmental quality to collaborate with agencies and the private sector. This collaboration would focus on completing the remediation of abandoned hardrock mines under a federal pilot program.
The current statutes would remain unchanged, as there are no deletions or modifications to existing language. The new insertion would serve to enhance the state's efforts in addressing the environmental impacts of abandoned mines by promoting cooperation among relevant stakeholders.
