Bill > AJR10

This resolution urges the federal government to release certain federally managed lands in Nevada to address the state's housing crisis. Recognizing that approximately 85 percent of Nevada's land is owned by the federal government, primarily managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the resolution highlights the critical shortage of affordable housing and developable land in the state. It specifically calls for prioritizing the passage of the Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, which would transfer specific land parcels to the state and local governments. The resolution emphasizes that such land transfers should be conducted with comprehensive planning, public input, and a commitment to sustainable development that protects environmental and cultural values. Additionally, the resolution requests that copies of the resolution be sent to key federal officials, including the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, and Nevada's Congressional Delegation. The resolution aims to balance economic development needs with conservation efforts, seeking a flexible approach to address Nevada's housing challenges while preserving public lands and wildlife.
