Bill Summary
AN ACT providing for the allocation of water from the state land department.
AI Summary
This bill requires the state land department to start a public process within 120 days of the act's effective date to create a system for distributing Central Arizona Project (CAP) water, which is water from a major aqueduct system that brings Colorado River water to central and southern Arizona. This CAP water is currently assigned to the state land department based on a 1983 decision by the United States Secretary of the Interior, and the new procedure will determine how this water can be allocated to state trust lands that are being sold or leased.
