AZ SCR1018

Supports the disposal of federally held, unappropriated lands by the Bureau of Land Management as originally authorized by Congress.

Opposes the federal "30x30" initiative established by Executive Order 14008 in 2021, which aims to conserve at least 30% of America's land and water resources by 2030.

Notes that 42% of Arizona's 113,417 square miles are federally possessed lands unavailable for economic development and outside the property tax base.

Claims federal land management has been inefficient and ecologically mismanaged, and argues state stewardship would improve public access, environmental health, and economic productivity.

References concerns from governors of 15 states that the 30x30 initiative will harm local economies, reduce school funding, and infringe on private property rights.
