Revises provisions relating to the Sagebrush Ecosystem Council. (BDR 18-214)

AB 242 requires Nevada's Sagebrush Ecosystem Council to establish its habitat mitigation program through formal regulations, rather than relying on existing law. The bill mandates that these regulations detail how entities (including landowners, developers, and conservation groups) can apply to earn credits for protecting or restoring sagebrush ecosystems, or acquire debits to compensate for habitat damage. It specifies required processes for application review, appeals, and periodic oversight of approved projects. This directly affects businesses, land managers, and conservation organizations participating in the state's ecosystem credit system. The bill does not change conservation goals but clarifies the administrative framework for implementing the program.
