Douglas County Economic Development and Conservation Act

This bill would transfer several areas of federal land in Douglas County, Nevada. About 67 acres would go to Nevada for a state park or conservation, and about 7,777 acres and 1,084 acres would go to the county at no cost for public purposes and recreation. It would require federal agencies to sell about 31.5 acres of federal land at fair market value, sending 5% of proceeds to state education, 10% to the county, and 85% to a federal account for costs and land conservation. It would place about 2,470 acres of federal land in trust for the Washoe Tribe, with no gaming allowed, and designate about 12,392 acres as the Burbank Canyons Wilderness.
