This bill proposes an amendment to section 45-576 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding the assessment of water availability for proposed uses. The current law, which defines "assured water supply," remains unchanged, but the bill introduces new language that allows the director to evaluate the sufficiency of groundwater, surface water, or effluent quality based solely on the proposed source or sources dedicated to the intended use. This means that the director can disregard the potential commingling of these water sources with other supplies when making this determination.

Additionally, the bill removes the existing designation of subsection "N" and renumbers it to "o," ensuring that the new provisions are integrated smoothly into the current statutory framework. Overall, the changes aim to streamline the assessment process for water supply availability by focusing on dedicated sources rather than the complexities of mixed water delivery systems.
