If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $10,000,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to the On-Farm Irrigation Efficiency Fund, which was established by Laws 2022, chapter 332. This appropriation aims to support the ongoing efforts to enhance irrigation efficiency on farms, thereby reducing water usage.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the existing law regarding lapsing of appropriations, ensuring that the allocated funds remain available for their intended purpose without being subject to expiration under section 35-190 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. These changes would enhance the financial resources available for improving irrigation systems and promote sustainable water use in agriculture.
