Public Lands Commission to Recommend Far Reforms
The Public Lands Commission report is expected to call for sweeping changes to land and mineral laws. Recommendations include classifying lands as arable irrigable pasturage and mineral, repealing the preemption law, and disposability of arable lands under Homestead provisions. It favors caps on irrigable land purchases, no limits on grazing land, and radical mineral law changes.
