The proposed bill seeks to amend section 49-1332 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the categories of eligible programs and projects under the Water Conservation Grant Fund. The current law includes various programs aimed at reducing water consumption and improving water efficiency, but the bill would remove the existing category focused on education and research programs related to water consumption reduction.

In its place, the bill introduces a restructured list of eligible programs, renumbering the existing categories while maintaining their core focus on water conservation efforts. The new language emphasizes projects related to rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, and improved aquifer health, while also including initiatives for landscape protection and coordinated water management. Overall, the bill aims to streamline and enhance the focus of the grant fund on practical water conservation projects.
