What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Protecting Arizona from Federal Land Grabs Act," aims to amend title 54 of the United States Code. It specifically targets the extension or establishment of national monuments within the state of Arizona. Under this proposal, such actions would be prohibited unless there is express authorization from Congress. The bill seeks to change how section 320301 of title 54 is applied by adding "or Arizona" to specific locations mentioned alongside "Wyoming."
