This bill would change the 1989 Apex Project, Nevada Land Transfer and Authorization Act. It adds two defined parties: the City (the city of North Las Vegas) and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association. The bill lets the United States transfer the Kerr‑McGee site and other land in the Apex Site to Clark County, the City, or the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association, either alone or together. It allows the Secretary to sell mineral materials removed from the surface of Apex Site parcels (where the United States keeps mineral rights) at fair market value without advertising or bidding and without volume or time limits. The bill also says each land transfer or right‑of‑way must follow applicable federal land laws, including NEPA and FLPMA.
If you live, work, or do business near the Apex Site, this bill would add North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association as possible recipients of land transfers. Local governments or the association could receive land or rights of way under the act. Companies or contractors that remove surface mineral materials from affected parcels might be able to buy those materials directly at fair market value without public bidding, under the conditions in the bill. All transfers and rights‑of‑way would be required to follow federal environmental review and public‑land rules.
