The proposed bill would amend section 45-576 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by updating the terminology used to describe land offerings. Specifically, it would replace the term "subdivided lands" with "one or more lots, parcels or fractional interests in land" throughout the statute. This change aims to broaden the scope of the law to include various types of land interests, not just those traditionally defined as subdivided lands. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the requirement for obtaining a certificate of assured water supply applies to any lease duration, not just those that are long-term.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that require cities, towns, or counties to ensure that properties, including residential, commercial, and industrial developments, have either a certificate of assured water supply or a written commitment of water service before approving building permits. This expands the current law, which primarily focuses on the approval of subdivision plats, to encompass a wider range of property developments, thereby enhancing water supply assurance for all types of land use.
