Bill > HB2934

This bill amends Arizona law regarding groundwater transportation fees, specifically impacting the Harquahala irrigation non-expansion area. It clarifies that individuals transporting groundwater away from any part of this area to an initial active management area, as permitted by section 45-554, must pay the groundwater transportation fee to a county that contains a portion of the Harquahala area but does not contain any part of an initial active management area. The bill also makes minor technical corrections to existing language regarding sub-basins and the calculation of credits for property tax increases and donated land. The groundwater transportation fee itself, which is paid by those who transport groundwater out of a county, is determined by the director and is tiered based on the volume of groundwater transported, with adjustments made annually for inflation. Credits are available against these fees, including those related to increased property tax revenues from remote municipal property and the market value of donated land.
