Bill > S217

This bill amends the Apex Project, Nevada Land Transfer and Authorization Act of 1989 to expand and clarify the legal framework for land transfers in the Apex Industrial Park area near North Las Vegas, Nevada. The bill adds new definitions to the original act, specifically including the city of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association as potential recipients of land transfers. It broadens the ability of Clark County, the city, and the industrial park owners association to receive land transfers from the federal government, with particular focus on the Kerr-McGee site. The bill also introduces new provisions that allow for more flexible mineral materials sales, permitting the Secretary of the Interior to sell mineral materials from graded or balanced land surfaces without strict advertising or bidding requirements. Additionally, the bill reinforces environmental compliance requirements, mandating that all land transfers and rights-of-way must adhere to federal environmental laws, including the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. These changes are designed to facilitate more efficient land management and development in the Apex Industrial Park region while maintaining environmental protections.
