Promoting National Security and Preserving Access to Public Land in Southern Nevada Act of 2023

HR 6216 expands the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area boundary from 48,438 to 57,728 acres and grants the Southern Nevada Water Authority rights-of-way for pipeline construction without requiring payment of rents or fees. The bill designates approximately 736,188 acres in Clark and Lincoln Counties as the Southern Paiute Wilderness, with specific provisions for water rights management and wildlife activities within the wilderness area. These changes aim to balance public land conservation with infrastructure needs and military activities in Southern Nevada, while maintaining protections for conservation resources and existing land uses.
