Arizona SB1197 modifies rules for irrigation grandfathered rights in subsequent active management areas.
Arizona SB1197 amends the state's water rights laws to allow owners of irrigation grandfathered rights to retain associated water duties for unirrigated acres in subsequent active management areas. Owners can sell, transfer, or lease the water duty for non-irrigated acres to other irrigators within the same area. The bill mandates that all such transactions be reported to the director using a prescribed form, detailing the type of conveyance, volume of groundwater, and intended use.
