Introduced Text

Arizona SB1758 amends state laws to require permission for improvements on state lands and denies reimbursement for unauthorized improvements.

Arizona SB1758 amends Section 37-321 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to establish that any person, other than a certificate of purchase holder, who wishes to construct or make improvements on state lands must first apply for permission from the department. The application will be approved or rejected based on the state's best interest, as determined by the department. Without department approval, the applicant is not eligible for reimbursement. Additionally, any lessee making improvements on leased state lands is ineligible for reimbursement or compensation for those improvements.
