HB 2499 Arizona House · 56th Legislature - Second Regular Session

water resources; technical correction

This bill corrects a technical error in the Arizona Revised Statutes by updating the language that defines the scope of authority for the state water department. The amendment clarifies that the department and its director inherit the powers previously held by the Arizona Water Commission and the state water engineer regarding surface water, groundwater, and dams. It specifies that the director has general control over the appropriation and distribution of these water resources, with the exception of water reserved to special officers appointed by courts. This change does not alter existing laws or policies but rather ensures the statutory text accurately reflects the current organizational structure.
