If enacted, this bill would amend section 45-576 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to clarify the criteria used by the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) when determining water availability for a certificate of assured water supply. Specifically, the bill would allow the Director to consider only the proposed sources of water supply dedicated to the intended use, irrespective of whether these sources are part of a delivery system that is commingled with other water sources. This change aims to streamline the assessment process for water availability.

Additionally, the bill would make conforming changes to the existing statute, including the deletion of the previous subsection labeled "N" and the introduction of a new subsection "o" that outlines the definition of "assured water supply." The overall intent of these updates is to enhance the clarity and efficiency of the regulations governing water supply assessments in Arizona.
