What changed between versions
Changed from a broad prohibition on enforcing any federal extractive resource laws to a specific list of five federal programs including Clean Air Act rules, water pollution control, energy efficiency standards, Mexican wolf reintroduction, and endangered species permits.
Added explicit exemption for the Arizona livestock loss board from restrictions on the Mexican wolf reintroduction program.
Changed jurisdiction from unspecified courts to specifically superior court for enforcement proceedings.
Modified penalty language to apply to employees rather than agents or employees, and removed the 'knowingly and willingly' language from the original version.
Changed grant restriction language from prohibiting receipt of 'state grant monies' to prohibiting receipt of 'grant monies from any source' if the entity violates the section.
Replaced general references to 'coal, oil, gas, timber' with specific federal program names and citations, making the prohibited activities more concrete and identifiable.
