OPINION
FIDEL, Presiding Judge.
In 1985, Arizona officials upset longstanding assumptions about title to riverbed lands by asserting that the state owned all lands in the beds of Arizona watercourses that were navigable when Arizona was admitted to the Union. The 38th Arizona Legislature responded by enacting 1987 Ariz.Sess.Laws, ch. 127 (H.B. 2017) (codified at Ariz.Rev.Stat.Ann. §§ 37-1101 to 37-1108, 12-510, and 12-529 (Supp. 1990)), substantially relinquishing the state’s interest in such lands. The validity of that statute is the subject of this appeal.
