Southern Arizona Protection Act

Ends the Ironwood Forest National Monument and blocks future Antiquities Act monument designations in that mapped area unless Congress explicitly authorizes them. This bill would nullify Presidential Proclamation 7320 and remove the monument designation for the area shown on the June 12, 2000 map. It would also prohibit any new or expanded national monument in that mapped area under the Antiquities Act unless Congress gives express permission. The measure would not authorize new funding or programs and shifts authority over monument designations in that area to Congress.
