State lands means any land owned or held in trust by Arizona, including leased school or university land.  The Arizona State Land Department manages state lands, which includes state trust lands and lands otherwise owned by Arizona.  Management, sale and lease of state land are outlined in statute and the Arizona Constitution (A.R.S. §§ 37-101, 37-102, 37-281, 37-232, 37-240) (Constitution of Arizona, Article 10).

Conveying land means to pass or transfer the title to property from the present owner to another by deed or other instrument (Black's Law Dictionary).
