Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

Local governments get expense rule waiver

Local governments do not have to follow NRS 354.599 for extra expenses tied to this law. This helps them manage transition costs. This rule starts upon passage and approval.

State takes over Nevada State Fairgrounds

The State Department of Agriculture sets up and runs the Nevada State Fairgrounds. It develops, maintains, operates, and promotes the grounds and facilities. The Department can sign contracts and rent space for concessions and services. The Director decides where and how often to hold a state or regional fair, but not more than once a year. The Junior Livestock Show Board reviews physical improvements at the grounds. When the county lease ends, the Department takes all fairground money, bills, and existing contracts. These changes start when the required land agreement with Washoe County takes effect.

No-cost lease for Washoe County complex

The State Land Registrar must agree with Washoe County to carve out the land with the county public building complex. That land is exempt from the trust and is available to the County through March 21, 2050. Washoe County must survey the land and provide a legal description. After that, the Registrar issues a new lease for that land with no payment. When that agreement takes effect, the old county lease for the rest of the property ends, and prior lease laws are repealed. The agreement and survey steps start upon passage and approval.
