AN ACT making an appropriation to the Wildlife Crossings Account for the design, construction and identification of new wildlife crossings and other related highway features; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $5 million from the State General Fund to the Wildlife Crossings Account, which was previously established under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 408.656. The funds are specifically designated for designing, constructing, and identifying new wildlife crossings and related highway features with the goal of improving wildlife movement across roadways. Wildlife crossings are specialized infrastructure like bridges or tunnels that allow animals to safely traverse highways, reducing vehicle-wildlife collisions and helping to protect animal migration patterns and habitat connectivity. The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage and approval, enabling the state to invest in infrastructure that enhances both wildlife conservation and transportation safety.
