AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona's laws on drinking water standards and pollutants. It requires the Department of Environmental Quality to establish water quality standards for certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), chromium-6, and 1,4-dioxane in drinking water aquifers.

The bill also allows the public to petition the department to adopt standards for other pollutants detected in drinking water aquifers.
