What the document says

“The Federal land is withdrawn from the operation of the mining and mineral leasing laws of the United States.”

To direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey certain Federal land in Arizona to La Paz County, Arizona, and for other purposes, Sec. 3

The Act itself makes the withdrawal, in the present tense and without action by any agency. The subsection sets no end date and states no exception.

What the document actually says

“The Federal land is withdrawn from the operation of the mining and mineral leasing laws of the United States.”

To direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey certain Federal land in Arizona to La Paz County, Arizona, and for other purposes, Sec. 3
That sentence, in plain words

The mining laws no longer reach this land. Nor do the laws for leasing minerals.

What this is about

To withdraw land is to close it to those claims. This law does it by itself. It sets no end date.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

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.
