This bill proposes updates to section 49-104 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding the management of air resources and the regulation of public and semipublic swimming pools. The current statute's language regarding the "utilization" of air resources will be changed to "use," reflecting a more contemporary terminology. Additionally, the term "prescribe" will be replaced with "adopt" in the context of the department's authority to implement necessary rules to prevent water pollution in swimming facilities.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that require the adopted rules to establish minimum standards for the design and sanitary conditions of swimming pools, as well as to set fees for the department's review of these facilities. These fees will be deposited into the water quality fee fund and will not apply to state agencies. The bill emphasizes that the fees should only cover the department's expenses related to the implementation of the new rules, ensuring that the financial burden is minimized while maintaining public health standards.
