Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 45-105, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to the groundwater code.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 45-105, which outlines the powers and duties of the director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The key change is the addition of a new provision that mandates the director to first prioritize the conservation and maintenance of the state's aquifers, and only after that, prioritize the protection of consumers and all other water uses. This means that safeguarding the underground water sources will become the primary concern before other water needs are addressed.
