The proposed bill, if enacted, 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 sewage remediation in border areas during the fiscal year 2026-2027. It would also 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. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Director of ADEQ maintain specific emission testing fees at their current level and sets a cap on the appropriation from the state General Fund to the Water Quality Assurance Revolving Fund at $15,000,000 for the same fiscal year.

The bill includes several insertions that modify existing statutes, such as specifying the authorized uses of funds and establishing limits on appropriations, while maintaining the overall structure of the current law. It does not propose any deletions from existing statutes, ensuring that the current legal framework remains intact while adding necessary provisions to facilitate the implementation of the FY 2027 state budget related to environmental matters.
