Overview
An emergency joint resolution that approves the sale of private real property in Phoenix,
Arizona, to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
History
The United States Constitution grants Congress the authority to enact exclusive legislation
over places purchased by the consent of the Legislature of the State in which the purchased
land is located so that forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards and other needful buildings may
be established (U.S. Constitution, Art. 1 Sec. 8).
State statute authorizes Arizona to permit the acquisition of any privately owned real
property within Arizona, by the United States, upon the Governor's signing a joint resolution
adopted by the Legislature to that end. Such resolution must recite the legal description of
the land and the purposes to which the state consents that the property may be used (A.R.S. §
37-620.02).
Provisions
1. Consents to the sale of four parcels of land in Phoenix, Arizona to the United States for
the VA's use.
2. Provides a legal description of the parcels of land being sold.
3. Contains an emergency clause.
