Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Wilderness, grazing, and mining rules
If enacted, the bill would designate many federal areas as wilderness and withdraw them from public‑land entry and mineral leasing, with boundaries set a fixed distance from nearby roads. It would let livestock grazing that existed before enactment continue in designated wilderness under regulation and require the Secretary to inventory grazing facilities within two years. The Secretary would accept donations of grazing permits in Mosquito Valley and Horse Lake and terminate donated permits to permanently end grazing on donated lands, reducing grazing authorizations where donations overlap other permits. The bill would also remove wilderness study area status from listed parcels and manage them under regular land management plans, and it would bar new federal funding or authorization for new water resource facilities inside wilderness except for wildlife water projects.
Carson City land sales and housing
If enacted, the Secretary would identify and offer certain federal parcels near Carson City for sale within one year. Sales would be by competitive bid at not less than fair market value, except about 33 acres that the Secretary would review for affordable housing and could be conveyed below market value; that review must finish within 90 days. Sale proceeds would be split: 5% to the State for general education, 10% to Washoe County and the cities of Reno and Sparks for Truckee River projects, and 85% to a Truckee Meadows Special Account in the Treasury. Amounts in that special account would be available to the Secretary without further appropriation and could be used mainly for land acquisition, conservation, parks and trails, wildfire fuels reduction, Tahoe restoration, and related costs.
New national conservation areas
If enacted, the bill would create several National Conservation Areas, including the Massacre Rim Dark Sky NCA of about 134,144 acres. The Secretary would file maps and legal descriptions and manage each NCA as part of the National Landscape Conservation System. The Secretary would write a comprehensive management plan for each NCA within seven years with public and tribal input, could limit vehicle access to designated routes, and could acquire land from willing sellers inside NCA boundaries.
Tribal land placed into trust
If enacted, the Secretary would take specified federal parcels into trust and add them to three Tribal reservations: about 11,373 acres for the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, roughly 8,319 acres plus additional Forest Service and fee acres for the Reno‑Sparks Indian Colony, and about 601 acres plus Forest Service acres for the Washoe Tribe. The Secretary would complete cadastral surveys and publish legal descriptions in the Federal Register. Land taken into trust under these provisions would not be eligible for class II or class III gaming.
Free federal land to local governments
If enacted, the Secretary or the Agriculture Secretary would convey specified federal parcels at no purchase price to named local public entities for parks, schools, roads, flood control, recreation, and similar public uses. Recipients would have to pay all conveyance costs like surveys, appraisals, environmental cleanup, and administrative fees. Conveyances would be subject to valid existing rights and could revert to the United States if the land stops being used for the authorized public purpose.
