This bill proposes updates to section 45-516 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning the withdrawal of poor quality groundwater. The primary change involves the replacement of the pronoun "he" with "the director" in the context of issuing permits to non-irrigation users for groundwater withdrawal, thereby clarifying the authority responsible for this action.

Additionally, the bill maintains the current requirement for the director to monitor groundwater withdrawals under the poor quality groundwater withdrawal permit and to terminate the permit if the conditions for withdrawal are no longer met. Overall, the bill aims to enhance clarity in the language of the statute while preserving the existing regulatory framework for groundwater management.
