This bill proposes to amend current statutes by mandating a special audit of the state land department conducted by the auditor general. The audit will focus on several specific areas, including the examination of vacancies on state trust lands with a slope of less than fifteen percent, the analysis of commissioner-initiated land sales in populous counties that received only one bid, and the review of solar leases and sales that also received a single bid. Additionally, the audit will evaluate the reclamation requirements imposed by the state land department for solar projects.

The new provisions outlined in the bill will be inserted into the existing legal framework, specifically under section 41-1279.03 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. There are no deletions from the current law, ensuring that the existing statutes remain intact while adding these new requirements for transparency and accountability in the management of state land.
