Rep. Paul Gosar's Legislation to Protect Property Rights Passes U.S. House of Representatives

Press Release

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation, the Mountainaire Relief Bill (H.R. 862), introduced by U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S (R-AZ) and Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ), with a vote of 395-1. This legislation settles a federal land boundary dispute by correcting a decades-old surveying error that put part of some people's private property inside the boundaries of the Coconino National Forest.

Rep. Gosar issued the following statement:

"I find it frustrating, yet emblematic of the current state of affairs, that it has taken years and an act of Congress to correct a survey error. Fortunately, after today's vote, we are closer to correcting a wrong and removing an unfair burden from affected Arizonans."

Before final passage, Rep. Gosar took to the House floor and urged his colleagues to support H.R.862.
