Bill > HR1499

This bill, the La Paz County Solar Energy and Job Creation Act of 2021, directs the Secretary of the Interior to convey approximately 4,800 acres of federal land managed by the Bureau of Land Management to La Paz County, Arizona. The bill requires the county to pay fair market value for the land and cover all costs related to the conveyance. It also imposes restrictions to protect cultural, environmental, wildlife, and recreational resources, and requires coordination with the Colorado River Indian Tribes to avoid and minimize disturbances to tribal artifacts. The proceeds from the land sale would be deposited into the Federal Land Disposal Account and used in accordance with the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act.
