Pinal County Board of Supervisors Chairman Stephen Miller is delighted to announce that SB 1274 has today passed into legislation.
SB 1274 is referred to as the Plat Revision Legislation. It allows owners of certificates of assured water attached to a Plat to reconfigure the Plat and flexibility on types of uses. The Bill locks in the amount of water permitted through the certificate of assured water, meaning the Plat can use no more water consumption than was originally issued to the certificate.
Chairman Miller, who also Chairs the Pinal Active Management Area (AMA) Stakeholders’ Group, stated, “This is a good day for the Pinal AMA Stakeholders’ Group, in having our first legislation signed. I am aware it is only the first step of many in finding our water solutions in Pinal County, but it is a groundbreaking approach to water management and legislation.
Rose Law Group founder and president Jordan Rose, who has served on the committee working on water solutions, says “Chairman Miller should be congratulated and thanked profusely for leading these parties with so many different interests into a place where they could agree.”
