AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of Arizona Revised Statutes related to groundwater pumping and reporting, primarily by expanding the requirements for water measuring devices and annual reporting of groundwater use. Key changes include requiring water measuring devices for nonexempt wells in more locations outside of active management areas and irrigation non-expansion areas, and extending annual reporting obligations to individuals withdrawing groundwater from nonexempt wells in these areas, with specific exemptions for small-scale irrigation use on ten acres or less that is not part of a larger farming operation. The bill also clarifies definitions and updates references within the groundwater code.
