The bill would transfer some federal land into trust for the Moapa Band of Paiutes and the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe. It would also add wilderness areas, create special management and off-highway vehicle recreation areas, and adjust boundaries for conservation areas in Southern Nevada. The bill would allow certain land transfers for local public facilities, water projects, and development. It also addresses habitat conservation, flood control, and erosion-control work.
If enacted, the bill would change how some public lands in Southern Nevada are owned or managed. It could allow local projects such as fire facilities, water infrastructure, parks, and nonresidential development on specified lands. It would also set limits on some land uses to protect conservation areas and wilderness.
The bill gives no total cost. It requires Clark County and North Las Vegas to pay specified land survey and conveyance costs. Construction of the Lower Las Vegas Wash weirs would depend on available appropriations.
