Bill > HB2125

This bill makes several amendments to Arizona state law regarding water districts, focusing on financial requirements, assessments, and contract dispute timelines. The bill modifies Section 48-3112 and Section 48-3151 to update language and add new provisions about legal claims. Specifically, the bill adds identical provisions to both sections establishing a statute of limitations for claims between water districts and municipal water providers: any claim related to a water service contract lasting 20 years or more must be brought within eight years after the claim accrues. The bill also makes some minor technical corrections, such as changing "funds" to "monies" and "cancelled" to "canceled", and adjusting language about how assessments and financial estimates are recorded and processed. Additionally, the bill includes an applicability section that ensures these changes apply to both new and existing causes of action, effectively retroactively implementing the eight-year claim limitation period. These changes appear designed to provide more clarity and predictability in water district financial and contractual matters by standardizing claim timelines and improving technical statutory language.
