Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act

This bill would give about 3,800 acres of federal land in Washoe County, Nevada, at no cost to local governments, the school district, the state, and others for public uses such as parks, schools, roads, and flood control. Land returns to the federal government if it stops being used for those purposes. It would also let the Interior Department sell other federal land in the county, with most sale money going to a special federal account for conservation, parks, and wildfire work, and some land offered below market value for affordable housing. The bill would place about 21,000 acres into trust for three tribes, with gaming barred on most of it. It would create five wilderness areas, five National Conservation Areas, and a program for ranchers to donate grazing permits. It would also release several wilderness study areas from wilderness study management.
