The Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act seeks to achieve a balance between land conservation and economic development across Southern Nevada. It proposes significant changes to land management, including the designation of new protected areas and the conveyance of federal lands for various public and economic purposes. Title I focuses on Tribal Empowerment and Economic Development , transferring approximately 44,950 acres of federal land to be held in trust for the Moapa Band of Paiutes and 3,156 acres for the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe. These transfers are subject to existing rights and specific conditions, including prohibitions on class II or III gaming on these newly acquired trust lands and provisions regarding water rights. Title II, pertaining to Clark County, Nevada , introduces several key provisions. It adjusts the boundary of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and clarifies the definition of a "public park" to include partnerships for recreational uses. The bill expands the land disposal boundary for development, prioritizing applications for affordable housing, and allows for the movement and disposal of sand and gravel on acquired surface estates. A significant part of Title II involves the revocation of the Ivanpah Area of Critical Environmental Concern and the establishment of eight new Special Management Areas (SMAs) totaling over 358,000 acres. These SMAs are designated to conserve and protect cultural, natural, and wildlife resources, particularly species covered by the Clark County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The bill mandates the Secretary to credit these SMAs as mitigation for incidental take impacts and to extend the MSHCP and Federal incidental take permit for the maximum authorized duration. Further provisions in Title II include a boundary adjustment for the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, increasing its acreage, and granting a right-of-way for the Southern Nevada Water Authority for water pipeline infrastructure. It also conveys a "Job Creation Zone" in Sloan, Nevada, to Clark County for nonresidential development, with provisions for fair market value sales and potential reversion. Title III significantly expands the National Wilderness Preservation System by adding several new wilderness areas and expanding existing ones. These additions include the Mount Stirling Wilderness (72,942 acres), Gates of the Grand Canyon Wilderness (91,963 acres), Southern Paiute Wilderness (1,276,246 acres), and Lucy Gray Wilderness (9,601 acres), along with expansions to several other existing wilderness areas. Title IV facilitates Local Government Conveyances for public purposes. It authorizes the transfer of federal land to Boulder City for public use, to Mesquite for Virgin River watershed protection, to Clark County for public safety and wildfire response facilities, to the Moapa Valley Water District for critical water conveyance infrastructure, and to North Las Vegas for a fire training facility. These conveyances are generally without consideration but include reversion clauses if the land's use deviates from its intended public purpose. Title V mandates the Implementation of the Lower Virgin River Watershed Plan , while Title VI amends the definition and authorized uses for the Southern Nevada Limited Transition Area in Henderson, allowing for limited residential development that integrates with nonresidential uses. Finally, Title VII includes miscellaneous provisions such as the establishment of four new Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Recreation Areas totaling over 117,000 acres, with management plans to balance recreational use with resource protection. It also directs the completion of erosion control weirs on the Lower Las Vegas Wash and requires amendments to the Las Vegas Resource Management Plan for flood control facilities, while affirming the State's jurisdiction over fish and wildlife management.
