Bill > AB598

This bill provides special exemptions for the Campus for Hope Foundation's development of specific state-owned land in Clark County to create facilities for children's behavioral health services. The bill exempts this development from typical state public works oversight requirements under Chapter 341 of Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), which normally governs state building projects, and from most provisions of Chapter 338 of NRS related to public works. However, the bill maintains that any contractors working on the project must still comply with prevailing wage requirements as if they were working on a standard public project. The specific land in question is part of the Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health Services Campus, comprising two specific county parcels. The bill defines "development" broadly to include construction, improvement, repair, demolition, reconstruction, acquisition, equipment, operation, and maintenance related to the project. The legislation is designed to streamline the development process for these specialized behavioral health service facilities while ensuring fair labor practices through prevailing wage requirements. The bill becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval.
