Declares support of the Legislature for certain principles of solar energy development in this State. (BDR R-388)

AJR 12 is a non-binding resolution passed by the Nevada Legislature expressing support for specific principles regarding solar energy development on public lands in Nevada. It urges the federal government to prioritize solar projects on previously disturbed lands and to coordinate with local/state agencies when selecting sites. The resolution directly addresses federal agencies like the Bureau of Land Management and Secretary of the Interior, emphasizing consideration of natural resources, local economies, and cultural impacts. It does not create new laws or impose requirements but formally recommends these approaches for future solar development. Nevada's unique context (over 56 million acres of federal land, 80% of state land) is highlighted as the resolution specifically focuses on Nevada's public lands.
