Arizona HB2570 establishes temporary non-expansion areas for groundwater management.

Arizona HB2570 amends the state's groundwater management laws by adding provisions for temporary non-expansion areas. These areas can be established through a petition process, requiring signatures from at least half of the irrigation users and 10% of registered voters in the groundwater basin or subbasin. If approved by a majority vote, the area is established, limiting groundwater withdrawal to pre-established levels for ten years.
