The bill, H.C.M. 2004, is a concurrent memorial that urges the U.S. Congress and the President to enact legislation requiring the federal government to provide an acre of land of equal or greater size and value for every acre it acquires, reserves, or withdraws. This proposal aims to address the significant amount of federal land ownership in Arizona, which currently comprises over 42% of the state's land. The bill emphasizes the need for equitable compensation to counties or states affected by federal land acquisitions.

The new bill language replaces previous legal terminology with a clearer directive for the federal government to provide land offsets on an acre-for-acre basis. It also mandates that the Secretary of State transmit copies of the memorial to key federal officials, ensuring that the request is formally communicated to those in power. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance local governance and land management by advocating for a more balanced approach to federal land acquisition.
