Bill > HB2769

This bill provides for the transfer of specific parcels of state sovereign land located in Mohave County, Arizona, from the State Land Department to the City of Bullhead City. The transfer involves four distinct parcels of land situated along the Colorado River within Sections 1 and 32 of Township 20 North, Range 22 West, each precisely described using detailed geographic coordinates and the Ordinary High-Water Line (OHWL) of the river. The state land commissioner is required to deliver a signed and recorded deed to Bullhead City within 30 days of the act's effective date. Importantly, the transferred land comes with a specific restriction: the City of Bullhead City must manage these lands exclusively for park and public recreation purposes in perpetuity and is prohibited from selling, exchanging, or bartering the land. This legislation ensures that these state-owned riverfront parcels will be preserved and used for community recreational purposes, transferring ownership and management responsibility to the local municipal government while maintaining a clear public benefit mandate.
