Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act

The Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act transfers approximately 5,000 acres of federal land in Nevada to local entities including the City of Reno, City of Sparks, Washoe County, and the Washoe County School District for specific public purposes such as parks, schools, flood management, and recreational facilities. It also transfers land to be held in trust for Native American tribes including the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, and Washoe Tribe, expanding their reservations. The bill designates several wilderness areas and conservation areas while requiring recipients to maintain the specified public uses of the land or risk reversion to federal ownership, with recipients covering all conveyance costs despite the land being transferred for no consideration. The bill includes detailed maps and legal descriptions for all land transfers and designations, with specific provisions for affordable housing development on designated parcels.
