appropriation; water conservation grant fund

HB 2519 appropriates $100 million from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the existing Water Conservation Grant Fund established under Arizona Revised Statutes § 49-1331. This funding directly supports water conservation programs and projects, including grants for municipalities, water providers, and agricultural entities. The bill creates no new regulations or requirements but allocates state funds to advance existing water conservation efforts. The legislation is currently in early legislative stages, having undergone its first and second readings in the House.
