This bill proposes updates to section 49-1333 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning the water infrastructure finance program. It maintains the current definition of an "eligible entity" but removes the specific reference to the definition in section 49-1301. The bill allows non-governmental organizations focused on water conservation or environmental protection to apply for grants if they partner with an eligible entity. Additionally, it introduces new requirements for eligible entities applying for grants from the water conservation grant fund, including the disclosure of projected water savings, the source of the estimated water savings, and the plan for the saved water.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the water infrastructure finance authority adopt rules to implement these changes within ninety days of the act's effective date. Overall, the updates aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the grant application process while expanding eligibility to include non-governmental organizations.
