AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding groundwater transportation fees, specifically changing section 45-556 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The primary changes involve the director of the relevant department being required to post the table of groundwater transportation fees on the department's website within sixty days of the bill's enactment and to update this table annually to reflect changes in the GDP price deflator (a measure of inflation) and other fee adjustments. The bill also clarifies that the term "sub-basin" when referring to groundwater basins will now be written as "subbasin." These changes aim to increase transparency and ensure timely updates to the fee structure for transporting groundwater out of the county where it was withdrawn, with some exceptions and credits available for stored water or land donations.
