Bill > AB333

This bill revises provisions related to governmental administration, specifically focusing on the Nevada State Fairgrounds and a lease agreement with Washoe County. The bill requires the Director of the State Department of Agriculture to establish the Nevada State Fairgrounds on a portion of land previously leased to Washoe County, creating a new Account for the Maintenance and Operation of the Nevada State Fairgrounds in the State General Fund. The legislation terminates the existing 50-year lease with Washoe County while simultaneously ensuring the county can continue to use a portion of the land for its public building complex until 2050. The State Land Registrar must enter into a new agreement with Washoe County, requiring the county to survey and generate a legal description of the property. The State Department of Agriculture will be responsible for operating and maintaining the Nevada State Fairgrounds, recognizing the original 1887 trust that governed the land's use. Additionally, the bill revises certain definitions and references to the Department and Director, updates the responsibilities of the Nevada Junior Livestock Show Board, and repeals several historical statutes related to the original land lease. The bill aims to clarify the property's management, ensure continued use by Washoe County, and establish a clear framework for the state fairgrounds' operation and maintenance.
