AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law regarding water rights, specifically clarifying the definition of "irrigation" for the purpose of appropriating unappropriated water. The changes, indicated by "ins" tags, expand the existing law by adding a new subsection (D) that defines irrigation as the use of water on lands to produce plants or parts of plants for sale, human consumption, or as feed for livestock, range livestock, or poultry, with specific definitions for these terms provided. The bill also makes minor grammatical and stylistic changes, replacing "the state of Arizona" with "this state" and "thereof" with "of this state" throughout the relevant section, and changing "his" to "personal" to ensure gender-neutral language.
