The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding groundwater transportation fees as outlined in section 45-556 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The bill introduces new requirements for the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) Director to post a table of groundwater transportation fees on the department's website within sixty days of the amendment's effective date. Additionally, the Director would be mandated to annually update this table to reflect changes in the GDP price deflator and any fee adjustments as determined by existing statutes.

Furthermore, the bill makes technical changes, including the correction of terminology from "sub-basin" to "subbasin." It also clarifies the process for fee adjustments, specifying that the Director must notify concerned parties of any changes. The bill retains the existing structure of the groundwater transportation fee while enhancing transparency and accessibility of fee information to the public.
