This bill proposes to amend section 45-462 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing the legal recognition of groundwater use in relation to certificates of exemption. The current law states that the amount of groundwater use described by an application for a certificate of exemption is recognized as a legal use for determining grandfathered rights, with the possibility of modification based on appeals regarding factual mistakes made by the state land department or Arizona water commission.

The bill introduces a minor change by correcting the spelling of "application" in the statute, ensuring clarity and accuracy in the legal language. The substantive provisions regarding the recognition of groundwater use and the conditions for modification remain unchanged.
