Avoiding and minimizing harm to Tribal artifacts is a condition of the sale
The document says “shall”Who acts: La Paz County, Arizona, any subsequent ownerHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF
What the document says
“As a condition of the conveyance under subsection (a), the County shall, and as a condition of any subsequent conveyance, any subsequent owner shall-- (1) make good faith efforts to avoid disturbing Tribal artifacts; (2) minimize impacts on Tribal artifacts if they are disturbed;”
The first two of four duties the subsection attaches to the land as a condition of sale. They bind the County and, on any later sale, whoever owns the land next. The first is an effort standard, stated as good faith efforts to avoid disturbing artifacts; the second applies once artifacts have been disturbed.
What the document actually says
“As a condition of the conveyance under subsection (a), the County shall, and as a condition of any subsequent conveyance, any subsequent owner shall-- (1) make good faith efforts to avoid disturbing Tribal artifacts; (2) minimize impacts on Tribal artifacts if they are disturbed;”
That sentence, in plain words
The county has to try hard not to disturb old Tribal items. If items do get disturbed, harm has to be kept small.
What this is about
This holds for the county. It also holds for anyone who owns the land later. It is part of the deal, not a side promise.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
