Revises provisions governing the Account for the Channel Clearance, Maintenance, Restoration, Surveying and Monumenting Program. (BDR 48-88)

SB 108 raises the threshold for requesting backup funds from Nevada’s Contingency Account from $250,000 to $500,000 when the river maintenance fund balance falls short. It specifies that only money not already committed to specific projects counts toward this balance. The bill directly affects cities, counties, and tribal governments receiving grants for river clearance, maintenance, restoration, surveying, and monumenting projects. This change aims to provide more stable funding for these local projects by requiring a larger shortfall before accessing emergency funds. The bill passed unanimously and takes effect July 1, 2025.
