Arizona-Idaho Conservation Act of 1988
Not yet rated — this could be your moment.
The Arizona-Idaho Conservation Act of 1988, Public Law 100-696, enacted November 18, 1988, focuses on land conservation and related issues in Arizona, Idaho, and Minnesota. It also addresses art and preservation efforts by Congress.
President Ronald Reagan signed the "Arizona-Idaho Conservation Act of 1988," following the determination that an earlier law that authorized the minting of commemorative coins was unconstitutional for allowing to US congress to use functions reserved for the executive branch in spending the funds raised by the coins. He stated that the enactment of the conservation act would resolve constitutional concerns by ensuring that proceeds from the coin sales would be exclusively directed to the Capitol Preservation Fund
The act was mired in some controversy when it was alleged that the biological opinion by the US Fish and Wildlife Service that the Mount Graham International Observatory construction would not affect an endangered squirrel species was thrown into question by the Sierra Club.
