The proposed bill would update current statutes by authorizing the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to utilize up to $6,531,000 from the Underground Storage Tank Revolving Fund for administrative costs and remediation of sewage discharge issues in Naco and other border areas during the fiscal year 2026-2027. Additionally, it would allow the Arizona Navigable Stream Adjudication Commission to use funds from the Arizona Water Banking Fund for legal fees, and permit the Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission to grant up to $336,000 to the Department of Water Resources for administrative costs.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Director of ADEQ maintain emission testing fees at the level established as of June 30, 2025, and imposes a cap on the appropriation from the state General Fund to the Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund, limiting it to $15,000,000 for the fiscal year 2026-2027. These changes aim to ensure the effective management of environmental resources and funding within the state budget.
