Bill Summary
AN ACT amending sections 11-254.09 and 45-556, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to water.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Arizona law regarding groundwater transportation fees and water improvement programs. Specifically, it amends Section 11-254.09 to clarify that a county's water improvements program, which provides financial assistance for residential drinking water well or water delivery system improvements to low-income or fixed-income homeowners, can be funded by a portion of groundwater transportation fees, as long as the recipients reside within the groundwater basin or subbasin from which the water is transported. It also amends Section 45-556, which establishes a fee for transporting groundwater out of a county, to explicitly state that these collected fees are considered general county monies and are deposited into the county general fund, with the exception of any amount or percentage designated by the county for its water improvements program. The bill also makes minor technical changes to the wording of these sections.
