federal lands; supporting disposal

Arizona's SCR 1018 is a non-binding legislative resolution expressing the state's position on federal land management. It urges the Bureau of Land Management to dispose of certain federally owned lands in Arizona (42% of the state's total land area) and opposes the federal 30x30 initiative, which aims to conserve 30% of U.S. land by 2030. The resolution states Arizona lawmakers believe federal land ownership restricts economic development, reduces school funding, and infringes on local control, arguing state management would better serve public access and economic needs. As a concurrent resolution, it does not create new law but formally communicates Arizona's stance to federal authorities.
