Limiting National Monument Creation in Arizona: Congressional Approval Required.

This bill changes the rules for federal land in Arizona. If passed, the President would lose the ability to unilaterally create or expand National Monuments within Arizona. This means that all future decisions regarding the protection of large land areas will require explicit authorization from Congress, giving local representatives more control over the designation of these lands.
Key points
Requires express authorization from Congress to establish or extend National Monuments on federal lands in Arizona.
Limits the President's power to unilaterally designate large areas of land for protection in Arizona, affecting future land management.
