United Nations Rio declarationOn Monday, April 30, the House was scheduled to consider SB 1507 (NOW: United Nations Rio declaration; prohibition) on third reading. The purpose of the bill is to prohibit the state and its political subdivisions from adopting or implementing "the creed, doctrine, principles or any tenet" of the 1992 United Nations Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. The bill also specifically identifies a number of organizations with which Arizona political entities are prohibited from affiliating.The bill died an unceremonious death when it was pulled from the third read calendar of the House and failed to reappear. The League opposes the ill-conceived legislation, based on its ambiguous language, high potential for unintended negative consequences and prospective impacts on municipal initiatives. |
