AZ Proposition 119 (2012)

Posted on | October 28, 2012 | No Comments

Prop 119: Authorizes the exchange of state trust lands if the exchange is related to protecting military facilities or improving the management of state trust lands; outlines the process for exchanges, including independent appraisals and analyses, public hearings, and approval by public vote.

Another proposition with broad, bipartisan support.

From The Nature Conservancy:

Prop 119 provides for a fair and open process to evaluate what state trust lands are going to be put before the voters for exchange and prescribes a narrow provision of state trust lands subject to this authority. As well, it has broad support from economic groups, chambers of commerce and environmental organizations.

Passage of Prop 119 on November 6th will provide an important tool to support our national security, maintain our military bases as important economic engines, and achieve important land and water conservation objectives by securing healthy buffers around our military bases. This is a winning situation for all Arizonans.

I found no opposition to Proposition 119, and no reason for opposition from me.

  • A “yes” vote shall have the effect of authorizing the exchange of state trust lands if the exchange is related to either protecting military facilities or improving the management of state trust lands and prescribes the process for such exchanges. This process includes two independent appraisals and analyses, public hearings, and approval by public vote.
  • A “no” vote shall have the effect of keeping current constitutional law related to state trust lands.

Proposition 119 is a YES
