The bill H.C.M. 2004 urges the U.S. Congress and the President to pass legislation that mandates the federal government to compensate a county or state with one acre of land of equal or greater size and value for every acre of land it acquires, reserves, or withdraws. If land of equal or greater size and value is not available, the federal government should provide land as close in size and value as possible, along with payments to make up for any value difference.
The bill also instructs the Secretary of State to send copies of the memorial to the President of the United States, the President of the U.S. Senate, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and each member of Congress from Arizona. There is no expected fiscal impact to the state General Fund from this legislation.
