appropriation; groundwater recharge facilities; maintenance

HB 2087 appropriates $________ from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to clean and restore specific artificial groundwater recharge facilities. It directly affects the state department responsible for water management and communities relying on these facilities in designated groundwater basins that also provide flood control benefits. The bill requires funding only for facilities meeting two criteria: being in a state-designated groundwater management area and offering flood control. The appropriation is exempt from standard rules requiring annual reauthorization. This bill focuses solely on funding mechanisms, not policy changes to water management.
