New habitat credits and costs for projects

Beginning July 31, 2027, Nevada’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Council must establish a program to offset sagebrush habitat damage. People, federal and state agencies, local governments, and nonprofits can apply for credits for protecting, improving, or restoring habitat. Projects that damage greater sage-grouse habitat must obtain debits to compensate for that harm. The Council must set rules for applications, Council review, appeals, and periodic checks of approved credits and debits. The law allows preparatory rulemaking upon passage and approval.
