Bill > HR5205

This bill, the Northern Nevada Land Conservation and Economic Development Act, aims to authorize various land conveyances and designations in northern Nevada to foster economic growth and protect natural resources. Key provisions include designating approximately 26,000 acres as the Pine Forest Range Wilderness for conservation, transferring federal land to the city of Yerington for sustainable development, and conveying federal land to the city of Carlin and the city of Fernley for economic purposes. Additionally, it facilitates the transfer of federal land in Storey County to the county itself, designates land for a motocross park in Elko County, and places federal land in trust for the Te-moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians of Nevada (Elko Band) for tribal use. Finally, it transfers land adjacent to Naval Air Station Fallon to the Navy for housing and safety development. The Act also addresses wilderness study area releases, wildlife management, land exchanges, and ensures Native American treaty rights are preserved.
