Bill > SCR1012

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to Article X, Section 5 of the Arizona Constitution regarding the minimum price of state lands. The amendment would replace the current fixed pricing of land (previously set at $3 per acre for standard lands and $25 per acre for irrigable lands) with a requirement that lands be sold at their "true appraised value." For lands that are susceptible to irrigation under current or future federal reclamation projects, the sale price would now be based on the land's true appraised value with specific consideration of its irrigation potential. The resolution maintains the existing provision that the state must relinquish lands to the United States when requested by the Secretary of the Interior for irrigation works, with the ability to select replacement lands. If approved, the proposition will be submitted to Arizona voters at the next general election, as mandated by the state constitution, and would take effect upon voter approval and proclamation by the Governor.
