Heat mitigation in local master plans

Beginning July 1, 2026, the conservation part of a master plan must include a heat mitigation plan. The plan must cover public cooling spaces, public drinking water, cool building practices, and shade over paved areas. Shade can be structures or urban tree canopy, with a preference for native or drought-tolerant species. In counties with 100,000 to 699,999 people, any partial master plan update must include this conservation section with the heat plan.

Local budgets can fund heat planning

Starting July 1, 2026, extra costs that cities and counties take on to carry out this heat-planning law are not limited by NRS 354.599. Local governments can budget what they need to plan cooling sites, water access, shade, and related work. This changes local budgeting rules and does not add new state funding.
