This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding on-farm irrigation efficiency and tax relief for computer data centers. It establishes an on-farm irrigation efficiency program aimed at providing grants and collecting data to enhance irrigation systems, thereby reducing water usage. The bill creates an on-farm irrigation efficiency fund, administered by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, which will be used for grants to qualified applicants for installing approved irrigation systems. The bill also outlines specific criteria for grant eligibility, including requirements for water savings, crop history, and the type of irrigation system used.

Additionally, the bill modifies the qualification periods for tax relief related to computer data centers and qualified colocation tenants, changing the duration from ten years to five years for certain classifications. It introduces a new distribution base for tax revenues collected from these entities, specifying that a portion of the revenues will be allocated to the on-farm irrigation efficiency fund and the water conservation grant fund. The act clarifies definitions related to computer data centers and establishes reporting requirements for the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension regarding the fund's expenditures and the effectiveness of the irrigation efficiency systems implemented.
